Gentlemen, I find that the load-path has oh, 60 directories on it. Though only one exact repeat is found, /usr/share/emacs21/site-lisp/dictionaries-common , but still, things look a little inefficient. Here we see the common trailing names: sed s#.*/## the-load-path.list |sort|uniq -c|sort -nr|etc etc 4: site-lisp 3: html-helper-mode gnus dictionaries-common 2: x-face-el w3-el url speedbar select-xface sdic sawfish mpg123-el gnuserv gnus-bonus-el emacspeak emacs-wiki emacs-goodies-el debbugs-el bitmap-mule bbdb apel -- http://jidanni.org/ Taiwan(04)25854780
