I agree with you that ease of installation is the most important. In addition to your instruction, the below URLs may be helpful to english non-technical users: * http://www.emacswiki.org/cgi-bin/emacs-en/CarbonEmacsPackage#toc12 * http://www.emacswiki.org/cgi-bin/emacs-en/CarbonEmacsPackage#toc6 > I have put instructions up on my web-page on how to install additional > dictionaries for Carbon Emacs Package, but they are much too > complicated for non-technical users: > > http://www.dur.ac.uk/p.j.heslin/Software/Emacs/Easymacs/mac-aspell- > dicts.php I have added the above URL to the FAQ page: http://www.emacswiki.org/cgi-bin/emacs-en/CarbonEmacsPackage#toc22 > I wonder if you would consider providing a way to automate this > process?

Please examine "Help > Carbon Emacs Package > Net-Install" menu in the menu bar and the relevant files such as: * http://macemacsjp.sourceforge.jp/package/netinstall/yatex/ * http://macemacsjp.sourceforge.jp/package/netinstall/yatex.tgz Best wishes, --- Seiji
