RE: XEMACS VHDL-Mode package

FYI,
There are no spaces in my home dir.  The init.el file is located here:

C:\Users\irv9457\.xemacs

The init.el file is being read by xemacs because if I place the following lines in the file, I do see an error saying : "File mode specification error: (file-error " cannot open load file" "vhdl-mode") 

(autoload 'vhdl-mode "vhdl-mode" "vhdl mode" t )
;; Any files that end in .v should be in vhdl mode
(setq auto-mode-alist (cons  '("\\.vhd\\'" . vhdl-mode) auto-mode-alist))
;; Any files in vhdl mode should have their keywords colorized
(add-hook 'vhdl-mode-hook '(lambda () (font-lock-mode 1))) 

Is the above is necessary to run vhdl-mode?

I do have a copy of vhdl-mode.el in the .xemacs directory.

Thanks.

Hi, Ira -

(Copying XEmacs developers; others may well know more than I do - please "reply all" if you have further comments.)

I vaguely recall some kind of parsing error for HOME directories containing spaces and I think this has been fixed.  I recommend taht you try this setup kit:
http://ftp.xemacs.org/windows/testing/XEmacs_Setup_21.4.24.exe instead of 21.4.22.

Regards,
  Vin
