Hi Erik,

thanks for the tip! I tried the modified code, and there are indeed two
errors less when compiling. Unfortunately, I still get the following compiler
complaint and no elc output:

Compiling file /usr/local/lib/xemacs-20.4/lisp/beta/beta-font-lock.el at Thu
Mar  4 23:03:30 1999
  !! Symbol's value as variable is void ((beta-font-lock-decl-regexp))

I don't understand why one gets this message after changing line 147.--Do you
any more ideas
to try out?

Thanks very much. Best, Michael
