Isn't that a bug? Yes, that seems a bug to me. I have no idea if configure is used for Mingw and I guess ':' works for Cygwin. So I still do not see how to fix that. > Btw, the name of the variable "auto-load scripts-directory" is > misleading, as it really is a PATH-style list of directories, not a > single directory. In these cases I follow the rule: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/338156/table-naming-dilemma-singular-vs-plural-names Besides that for example 'set debug-file-directory' originally allowed only one directory but for some years it allows a PATH-style list of directories. Should it be therefore the old option name deprecated + renamed? Jan
