Re: [orca-list] Python code editor

[Didier Spaier <didier slint fr>]

Hello Andy,
sorry to look blunt, but really should read the answers already given in
this thread.

We have stated several times that there is no emacspeak command, rather
you need to edit the config file ~/.emacs (hre that would be
/home/didier/.emacs) to automatically start emacspeak when typing emacs,
then just type emacs, *not* emacspeak.

As I already posted append these two lines to ~/.emacs
(package-initialize)
(load-file "/usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/emacspeak/lisp/emacspeak-setup.el")

Then just type emacs, *not* emacspeak.
