In my case, there is an enterprise-wide installation of emacs that I cannot change - I had to ask a system administrator to make the filename change for me. Well, yes; many people do that. You just install your files in a local directory (I use ~/.emacs.d/, for instance ~/.emacs.d/org-6.17c) and ask Emacs to use it; in your .emacs.el: (add-to-list 'load-path "~/.emacs.d/org-6.17c/lisp") (require 'org-install) Automatically, Emacs loads the one you specified instead of the global one. I think it is because add-to-list adds elements at the beginning of the list, therefore with more priority. Check: C-h v load-path RET I never had the problem of a global file overwriting my settings; Emacs behaves very well with that. -- Daniel I checked my load-path and the local site was at the end of the list. What I have in my .emacs is similar to yours, but not quite the same: (setq load-path (append load-path '("~/.emacs.d/org/lisp"))) This was something I picked up long, long ago, and never worried about. My guess is that "append" really means just that, and that "add-to-list" means prepending. Anyway, org-mode is working correctly now. Thanks for your help!
