Re: DAVENPORT: psgml in emacs-20.3 question

[Maria Fish <mfish AT ebt dot com>]

Well, that all sounds a little over my head.  I use psgml, but I had to add
a line in my .cshrc file (I beleive that's a unix file) so, my emacs knew
where to find the catalog file.  (I know, so much indirection; it can make
a person dizzy)  Anyhow, I had the same exact problem you have --and that
was the fix for me.  Something in your system is simply not finding the DTD.  

Good luck,
