M-. now works, but even before, I didn't use M-. that often. And I don't add #+ very often, and when it does, it doesn't always infloop. Never figured out what the made some different from others. (Which reminds me: I need to figure out a way to have M-. get the right sources when running a snapshot and when running inside my current git tree. This is not a slime issue, I think, but a how I have my cmucl source paths set up.) >> Plus decades of cruft in my init files (which are slowly >> shrinking every time I move to a new box) and xemacsisms and >> decades of motor memory make it hard.

But it would probably be good for me to do that myself; I'm sure there are numerous (annoying) differences, so it would be best for me find and learn these differences. Besides, I think most of my .xemacs directory is no longer really relevant to even me. :-) Ray
