RE: [h-e-w] EmacsW32 and viper

Hi Lennart,

Thanks for your response. I've trimmed down my .emacs/.viper files to
the minimim that I think I need to get viper working. So they look like:

~/.emacs:
;; load viper
(setq viper-mode t)
(require 'viper)

~/.viper:
(setq viper-inhibit-startup-message 't)
(setq viper-expert-level '5)
 

For example, I open a .txt file (bound to gnuclientw) from the Desktop,
Emacs comes up, shows the EmacsW32 splash page, and then the .txt file.
The status bar shows (V). I try the 'j' & 'k' movement keys and it
inserts characters. The odd thing now, is that I'm trying this as I type
this email in Outlook, so I'm switching back and forth and reopening the
file. In one test, I opened the file, switched to Outlook, switched back
and it worked?!? It seems like there was a delay in processing/entering
viper-mode. That may be why C-z or M-x viper-mode doesn't fix it
immediately and it seems like playing around with M-x does. I'm guessing
that whatever is causing the delay finally completes (5-10 seconds or
so). 

Here is the *Messages* buffer after it starts working correctly.

(C:\Program Files\Emacs\emacs\bin\emacs.exe --load=C:/Program
Files/Emacs/EmacsW32/bin/gnuservauto.el)

For information about the GNU Project and its goals, type C-h C-p. [4
times]
forward-sentence: End of buffer
For information about the GNU Project and its goals, type C-h C-p.
Auto-saving...done

My first thought was gnuserv or viper mode, but I get the two "GNU
Project" messages while its still inserting characters. Is there some
other background process that's running?

Thanks
Denny

Hi Denny,

Could you please try the same thing as above but without your current
emacs init file (~/.emacs)? If the problem still persists could you then
tell me more exactly what you are doing, step by step?

BTW I am a heavy Viper user and I have never noticed the kind of problem
you have here.
