I see you are the author of both drop-ins/calendar.sl and one of the authors
of drop-ins/cal.sl .  Thank you for replying.

I had already read your comment that calendar.sl and cal.sl should only be
run in jed for debugging purposes.  I got calendar.sl out of the way
temporarily by mv'ing both it and its slc version to calendar.slc*-DIST, but
that caused an error in drop-ins/ini.sl, so I edited it "below this line" to
comment out all the calendar.sl stuff.  That got it working, I think (I am
not sure I am getting full cal/diary function).  However I only seem to have
a calendar command available to M-x, not a cal command.  Is that right? 
However, the comments in ini.sl say that my edits will be overwritten the
next time make_ini() runs.  I tried to run M-xmake_ini<RET> but got a
read-only buffer error.  I also tried to run M-xupdate_ini<RET> in jed and
got "no SLang files in /usr/share/jed/" .

They seem to do it in jed-extra/drop-in/ini.sl, even though you say in the
comments that it should not be loaded.

But how do I defeat the stuff that debian seems to have added that
automagically seems to load all of the .sl files even the ones that should
not be?  I may go back to square one, and follow a scheme like I proposed in
the original post and get rid of all the jed-extras except the parts that I
really want and understand.

Thank you again
