also listed on the `Options' menu under:
- Options->Customize->Emacs->Packages
+ Options->Customize->Emacs->Packages
However, don't select any of these menu picks unless you actually
want to install the given package (and have properly configured your

You can access it via the menus:
- Options->Manage Packages->List & Install

Or, you can get to it via the keyboard:
If you are installing from a temporary, one-time directory, you can
also add these directory names to `package-get-remote' using:
- M-x pui-add-install-directory
+ M-x pui-add-install-directory
Note, however, that any directories added using this function are not
saved; this information will be lost when you quit XEmacs.
The easiest way to install a package is to use the visual package
browser and installer, using the menu pick:
- Options->Manage Packages->List & Install
+ Options->Manage Packages->List & Install
or
- Options->Manage Packages->Using Custom->Select-> ...

the customize menus, under:
- Options->Customize->Emacs->Packages-> ...
+ Options->Customize->Emacs->Packages-> ...
or
- Options->Manage Packages->Using Custom->Select-> ...
+ Options->Manage Packages->Using Custom->Select-> ...
Set their state to on, and then do:
- Options->Manage Packages->Using Custom->Update Packages
+ Options->Manage Packages->Using Custom->Update Packages

tarballs that you downloaded in step 1. Unix and Cygnus cygwin
users will typically do this using the commands:
- gunzip < package.tar.gz | tar xvf -
+ gunzip < package.tar.gz | tar xvf -
Above, replace `package.tar.gz' with the filename of the package
that you downloaded in step 1.
Of course, if you use GNU `tar', you could also use:
- tar xvzf package.tar.gz
+ tar xvzf package.tar.gz
5. That's it. Quit and restart XEmacs to get it to recognize any new
or changed packages.
