RE: Trying to use Simple Functionality

Thank you.

See, 

I knew it was something stupid :)

One other question, can I force init.el to reload without restarting
XEmacs (I seem to remember being able to do this but can't find the
command anywhere)

As I said before I'm running XEmacs under Cygwin, I'm trying to use
show-paren-mode

In my .emacs file I had this

(show-paren-mode 1)

and I had I had paren.el in my emacs\lisp directory, this worked fine.

In XEmacs I've put the paren.el file into xemacs-packages\lisp and I
have this in my init.el

(require 'paren)
(show-paren-mode 1)


It seems you're trying to run the Gnu emacs paren mode on XEmacs. Don't
do that.
XEmacs has it's own paren package under edit-utils
 Let me quote a few lines from paren.el:

;;; Synched up with: Not synched with FSF.
;;; Way different from FSF.
