Hmm. I'm a heavy XEmacs user, but I really really dislike W3. There
are some things that really didn't need to be written in Emacs Lisp,
and a web browser is one of them. Would you write one in Perl?

That said, w3-fetch in my w3.el seems to be autoloaded, so if it's
installed properly, it should load. If you do "(require 'w3)^J" in
*scratch*, what happens? Is the directory that w3.el is in part of the
result when you do "load-path^J" in *scratch*?

No.

It seems to be an installation problem more than an incompatible
Emacs-W3 problem. If what I say here isn't any use, try the GNU Emacs
specific newsgroups.
