Hi
Sorry about posting again on here - hopefully eventually I'll learn
enough so I can help others on here!
My question at the moment is about installing packages. I managed to
install mode-compile, by copying the .el file into a certain directory,
making sure that directory was referenced in (add-to-list) in my
.emacs and putting this in my .emacs as well:
(autoload 'mode-compile "mode-compile"
"Command to compile current buffer file based on the major mode" t)
I am now trying to install the help+ package - which I have got as a
file called help+.el and I've put it in the same directory as the
mode-compile file, and then put this in my .emacs:
(autoload 'help+ "help+"
"Command to give better help" t)
but it isn't working.
Again I'm probably doing something silly here - but I'm not sure what. I
also can't seem to find a simple guide to installing packages on the
internet anywhere, and not all packages seem to have instructions at the
top of their .el file.
Cheers,
Robin
