I was using a precompiled version of 21.1, which I had downloaded from www.porkrind.org. >It seems to work for me, although >I'll admit I use BBEdit a whole lot more than emacs so I may not be >hitting your problems. > As I use emacs a bunch, I bit the bullet, and followed the instructions at http://members.shaw.ca/akochoi-emacs/ for downloading, and making the file, etc. Everything worked just fine as long as I recompiled the .el files (sloooooow), so now I'm (successfully) running 21.3.50.1. Now... on ak choi's webpage (the one above), he gives instructions for making the bundle movable: >Support files for Emacs can now be placed within the Emacs.app application >bundle. > >Copy the directories etc, leim, lisp, and site-lisp, which are by default >installed into /usr/local/share/emacs/<emacs-version>/, into >Emacs.app/Contents/Resources/. > >Copy the files installed into /usr/local/bin and >/usr/local/libexec/emacs/<emacs-version>/<system-configuration>/ into >Emacs.app/Contents/MacOS/bin/ and Emacs.app/Contents/MacOS/libexec/, >respectively. > >Copy the files installed into /usr/local/info/ into >Emacs.app/Contents/Resources/info/. > >Now the application bundle can be moved around anywhere you want.

This seems doable for the folders named after emacs. It seems scary for the files dumped into /usr/local/bin and the like. . If I do this, could I then stuff the resulting mess, put it on a zip disk, and bring it home, unstuff it, and have everything work? I'm guessing that the above isn't worth the effort, but perhaps i works easily.
