This has been most educational and I am inspired to learn more about elisp! I think for now I will just put Hans' code in my system-dependent section of my EMACS file: (when (eq system-type 'darwin) (setq ispell-program-name "/usr/local/bin/ispell") (set-frame-font "fontset-mac") (set-keyboard-coding-system 'mac-roman-unix) (set-frame-font "-etl-fixed-medium-r-normal--14-140-75-75-m-140-iso8859-1") (modify-frame-parameters (selected-frame) '((font . "-*-Monaco-*-140-*")))) ------------------ If I run into any other problems, I'll probably have to go with something more along the lines of launching EMACS through a shell script. Edward
