problems with Slate interaction mode in Xemacs...

[Brian T. Rice]

Try executing M-x slate while in a buffer on a file that is in your 
~/slate/ directory, like the README. I've usually had problems getting 
emacs to be non-idiotic about pathnames otherwise (and asked on the 
mailing list months ago if anyone knew a way around it - I suppose they 
don't).

Also, perform the (require 'slate-mode) before the defconst executions, 
since the elisp code contains definitions which will shadow those.
