Re: point-and-click

[David Bobroff]

Ok, it's working.  I think what happened was that, once I had actually
gotten the correct files (~/.emacs and ~/.bashrc) edited correctly I had
not had emacs open with the working file.  Before trying running
'emacsclient' from the command line I opened a *.ly file, opened the
corresponding DVI Crlt-clicked and it went straight to the line in
question.

Still puzzling:

Point-and-click only takes me to the line now.  When I had: 

export XEDITOR="emacs +%l:%c %f"

in my .bashrc file and

#(ly:set-point-and-click 'line-column)

at the top of my *.ly, point-and-click would take me to the line AND
column (opening a new instance of emacs each time, of course).  Now that
it "works" as advertised I get only the correct line.  I have Emacs
v21.2.1.  The docs say that for 21.2 and earlier a patch is required. 
Does that means any version <21.3?
