I guess my main problem with telling GNU Emacs where to find the
executable seems to be that I cannot find the executable myself. The
only way I have ever been able to identify a windows executable is by
the tell-tale .exe and I find none of these. At the suggestion of
Chris McMahan I went to http://sourceforge.net/projects/w3m and
downloaded w3m-0.5.2.tar.gz . I then used gunzip and and then tar -x
to decompress the tarball and put it in the directory with my version
21.3 of emacs. I then attempted to add c:/Program Files/Emacs/
Emacs-21.3/w3m-0.5.2 to my exec path using the `C-h v' and feeding it
exec-path. When I clicked on the GUI "Save for Future Sessions" I
get another nasty message : Scan error: "Unbalanced parentheses",
11342, 81754. Even though I got no error when using the "State" GUI
to "save for future sessions". M-x w3m still results in: Install w3m
command in `exec-path' or set `w3m-command' variable correctly. When I
did the "save for future sessions" I expected some magic to cause a
change to my .emacs file but none occurred. What am I doing wrong, or
would it just be easier to tell me if I did anything right?
