Hi,
I'm trying to use desktop.el. It is in my share/emacs/21.1/lisp dir.
I can't M-x to any of it's functions without editing my .emacs file
to load it first, right?
So I edit my .emacs.
When I add these lines at the bottom of my .emacs file,
(desktop-load-default)
(desktop-read)
And do C-x C-e, I get this:
Debugger entered--Lisp error: (error "too many arguments")

functions are called. \n If the function returns t then the buffer

Ugh. Any ideas? Thanks,
