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?
