Hi Rodney
Thanks for helping.
Can you double check that? With Emacs-23.4, that line in .init.el
causes Emacs to say:
**Warnings**
Warning (initialization): An error occurred while loading
`/home/pauljohn/.emacs.d/init.el':
Wrong type argument: keymapp, nil
To ensure normal operation, you should investigate and remove the
cause of the error in your initialization file. Start Emacs with
the `--debug-init' option to view a complete error backtrace.
