Re: Help needed from XEmacs gurus (was: Invalid format character: ?m)

        The suggested workaround solved this problem, but now I got another
one:

Signaling: (wrong-number-of-arguments (lambda (directory &optional full
match nosort) "Like `directory-files' for tramp files." (let ((v
(tramp-dissect-file-name (tramp-handle-expand-file-name directory)))
multi-method method user host path result x) (setq multi-method
(tramp-file-name-multi-method v)) (setq method (tramp-file-name-method
v)) (setq user (tramp-file-name-user v)) (setq host
(tramp-file-name-host v)) (setq path (tramp-file-name-path v))
(save-excursion (tramp-barf-unless-okay multi-method method user host
(concat "cd " (tramp-shell-quote-argument path)) nil (quote file-error)
"tramp-handle-directory-files: couldn't `cd %s'"
(tramp-shell-quote-argument path)) (tramp-send-command multi-method
method user host (concat (tramp-get-ls-command multi-method method user
host) " -a | cat")) (tramp-wait-for-output) (goto-char (point-max))
(while (zerop (forward-line -1)) (setq x (buffer-substring (point)
(tramp-line-end-position))) (when (or (not match) (string-match match
x)) (if full (push (concat (file-name-as-directory directory) x) result)
(push x result)))) (tramp-send-command multi-method method user host
"cd") (tramp-wait-for-output)) result)) 5)
  signal(wrong-number-of-arguments ((lambda (directory &optional full
match nosort) "Like `directory-files' for tramp files." (let ... ... ...
... ... ... ... result)) 5))
  byte-code("..." [buf data kill-buffer signal] 3)
  find-file-noselect("/[alicia]/tmp/teste")
  find-file("/[alicia]/tmp/teste" nil)
  call-interactively(find-file)

        Thanks for your help.
