Re: DOCBOOK-APPS: XEmacs psgml mode problems...

Sounds like the DTD is not cached.  Your sys admin should be able to set
this up for you.  Otherwise, look at "Precompiled DTD Subsets" under
"Managing the DTD" in the psgml info pages.  You create an ecat file with
entries like this:

    public "-//OASIS//DTD DocBook V3.1//EN" docbook.cache

You link it in by adding something like the following to your .emacs file:

    (setq sgml-ecat-files '("~/ecat.jcw"))

I have not had any success with caching DocBook 4.0.  It worked fine with
DocBook SGML 3.1, but I get the following error loading a cached DocBook
SGML 4.0 or DocBook XML 4.0:

   Args out of range: [(normal-state nil)], 72

For now, I just put up with the delay.
