Sorry. I compounded the obscurity by starting to call balance.bal backup.bal. The situation seems to indicate a problem in emacs bookmarks. The balance.bal is an emacs bookkeeping program. ~/.balance.bal has -rw-r--r-- permission that is simply a log of a bank account. It is manipulated by a set of commands to perform operations on it. So the .balance.bal file is simple and not a likely source of trouble. The problem is not with bookmarks, for if I try to open .balance.bal simply like any their file in emacs, I get the same problem. If it has not been opened for while the opening hangs with the spinning spiral. I have to stop the open process with Ctl-g and then then I can open it without a problem. I note wo things. One is that there's an array of .balance* files such as .balance.bal.bak that open right up. In emacss or nano. It is emacs that can't open .balance.bal on first try/ Also there is a symlink for .balance.bal: .#balance.bal -> haines@engels.3050:1627212275 'I'm delete it. -- Haines Brown _______________________________________________ Dng mailing list Dng@lists.dyne.org https://mailinglists.dyne.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dng
