Does that mean I need to upgrade to Emacs > 22.2 to get it work properly?
If so can you give me any tips on tranferring packages, setting load-path, etc. 
I have 22.2 installed but don't use it as I have had some problems:

An error has occurred while loading `/home/me/.emacs':

File error: Cannot open load file, tramp-gw

thanks.
