     I recently installed emacs (again) on a machine.  Everything works
fine except one thing.  WHen I try to "describe-function", it prints
in the *Help* buffer:

     :
     Cannot exec binary file.

What exactly is it trying to do?  If it were more specific about the error,
I could track it down.  All help appreciated.

BTW:  Is there a way of invoking emacs without reading from ~/.Xkeymap?
