Hi,

Try with
(setq progress-feedback-use-echo-area t)
in your .emacs/.xemacs
Great! Your advise solved the problem. I added the command to
.xemacs/init.el and now everything works as before. Can you
explain why this command is necessary now and what it does?
Thank you very much for a short answer in advance.
Thank you very much for your help
Siegmar
