Hello,

I recently built the stable version of ciao prolog. The development version didn't build the engine etc. correctly, though it seemed to. Stable is fine. I ran into a problem with it setting itself by hidden settings to change the prolog selected by default by FSF emacs' prolog.el, updated to Stefan Bruda's latest version. How can I configure Ciao so that this does not occur. I am not fully commiting to using ciao prolog as my first prolog environment, and I would add Ciao to the list, but reserve to myself what the defaults are to in part prevent a non-productive competitive aspect into the minds of whoever reads this. I think Ciao's tcl/tk interface might help my porting/getting working of van Noord's Hdrug as a graphical grammar environment to work with Carpenter and Penn's ALE both of which were written for Sicstus Prolog.

Clear summary: What causes Ciao prolog to modify the variable bindings for emacs-24.5's $EMACS/24.5/lisp/progmodes/prolog.el. Thanks in advance.

Sincerely, John R. Towler jtowler(a)soncom.com
