Thanks a lot for that...works!
My browwer tricked me in believing that when I chose Save Link As... and it suggested mesa-minor-mode.el as file name that this actually was the file and not some html associated w the link.

Dennis,

The file you attached is an HTML file, not an emacs lisp file.

I bet if you find the true .el file that you're looking for, things will go 
much more easily. A more-circuitous-than-I'd-have-liked search led me to this 
URL: https://raw.github.com/jschwab/mesa-minor-mode/master/mesa-minor-mode.el.

I make no guarantees, but it satisfies all of your requirements that a 
layperson could understand.

I hope this helps.

Subject: Loading .el file

Hi,

I have been trying to load a custom .el file in emacs to add some
personal
functionalities when I run emacs.
The file is called mesa-minor-mode.el and is attach here for
completeness.  I have saved it in my ~/emacslisp/ and after a few
unsuccesful attempts to get it working I also saved it in ~/.emacs.d/
just to be sure emacs was not being sensitive to where the file was.

I run emacs version: GNU 21.4.1 x86_64-redhat-linux-gnu.

From various online help and colleagues I have ended up trying (without
luck) lots of permutations in my .emacs of the suggestions I received.
These incl (after each permutation I include here the error message
when
starting emacs):

I also tried to replace tilde in the above attempts with the full path
but
still no luck.  Also replacing emacslisp with .emacs.d, as well as incl
and removing '/' at the end of paths was tested.

Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.


Thanks
