Based on your information about `toolbarx-image-path' I now managed to make the symbol toolbar work by creating an images/ directory which I put below the directory for Emacs files in my home directory (which is in `load-path'). I then added the images/ directory to `load-path' and moved the symb-pics/ folder into this directory. It really is a hell lotta fun dealing with this. -- Ralf _______________________________________________ auctex mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/auctex
