Many thanks - that did the trick for running the listener window.
I still can't make the listener window listen; i.e when I "call query" under "query and main file" the query is written to the listener window and then nothing. (I have been trying to run the hello world program). My guess is that I'm not launching the query properly. Does the listener window listen?
Here's a way that works for me:
Start emacs Load hw.pl into an emacs buffer Ciao/Prolog menu -> Load buffer into top level Ciao/Prolog menu -> Query and main file -> Set Query In minibuffer, enter "main(X)." (without the quotes) Ciao/Prolog menu -> Query and main file -> Call Query Select yes in the dialog that pops up

I did what you described, with no response (ciao works fine outside emacs). I noticed that at the bottom of the bottom window the bar reads as follows:
--** *Ciao/Prolog* (Ciao/Prolog/LPdoc Listener: run ) --L1--All --------
That looks right. When I run a query, I get nothing. Also, when I use the preprocessor I get: "no such file or directory, ciaopp". Since ciaopp is in the Lib directory, my guess is that I need some kind of environment variable to indicate library directory. (Outside emacs, I loaded the dec_10 library without a problem so ciao seems to be installed correctly.) Under Unix, the following recommendations are given:
====== If you are able to open the Ciao/Prolog menu but the Ciao manuals are not found or the `ciao' command (the top-level) is not found when loading `.pl' files, the probable cause is that you do not have the Ciao paths in the `INFOPATH' and `MANPATH' _environment variables_ (whether these variables are set automatically or not for users depends on how the Ciao system was installed). Under Un*x, you can add these paths easily by including the line:
`source <CIAOLIBDIR>/DOTcshrc' ========
That would set the CIAOLIB variable. Under Win95 it is not so clear how to set the CIAOLIB environment variable. On the other hand, it is probably a question of defining the variable in the ciaosh.bat (since ciao runs in DOS!) Also, I will try to track down those pesky D:\ and replacing it with D:/ in the emacs code. (There is a ciao-lpdoc-libpath; I haven't noticed any other library variables. In ciao.el there are some D:\ to change.)
I'm going to investigate the ciao-set-library-path under emacs. It looks like that function would not work under Windows.
Thanks for the help.
Note: the link in the InfoReader manual "Troubleshooting (nasty messages and nifty workarounds):" does not work.
