Q I don't want Emacs to automatically check files in and out. Instead, I want to corrupt my source code. How do I just toggle read-only mode?
A M-x toggle-read-only RET
Q I'm using <esoteric versioning system here >, which doesn't seem to be supported by Emacs. What can I do?
A Some version control vendors provide Emacs programs on customer-accessible FTP sites. Check there first, and then ask on an Emacs help newsgroup such as gnu.emacs.help.
Q My Makefile recurses into subdirectories, and Emacs keeps asking me for the full path to my source code! What do I do?
A The GNU version of make prints out announcements when it changes directories, which Emacs can pick up on. Try using that version of make (prep.mit.ai.edu).
Q I'm using dbx, and Emacs doesn't pull up the source code when it hits a break point. What am I doing wrong?
A Not all dbx implementations are created equal. Some do not output the necessary information for Emacs to interpret. If all else fails, execute an up and down command.
