problem with selecting package

[brian]

Hi,

I posted this on the slime dev list, but didn't get an answer. Maybe its 
not specific to slime, I don't know.

I am not a lisp/emacs person, just starting.  I am running emacs 23 in 
cygwin in winxp. I installed elpa. It seems to work for most things For 
instance when I do 'm-X package-list-packages'  the various packages are 
listed. I know to use 'I' then 'x'
to intstantiate them. For example, the 'bubbles' game package I can run 
m-X bubbles and some other packages fine.

Howevre, slime is listed there as installed, and slime.el is listed 
under my emacs.d directory, but when I 'm-X slime ', it replies  "no 
match" . Kind of frustrating! Am I doing something obviously wrong?


Thanks
Brian
