I should have mentioned that I tried be from bemacs-7.2-246 with no luck. Using your suggestion, this is the error I get. Seems to be making progress.  I used finder and could not fine emacs.xkeys.  I suspect that emacs.xkeys might be in a tbl file or something.

Thanks for the beta kit.  I understand that bemacs is a volunteer effort so do take your time on this one.

I did try V7.3-171.  I copied the tar file to my home directory and used the command

1. Start a Terminal session
2. cd ~/
3. tar xzf bemacs-mac-os-x-intel-V7.3-171.

and used the command ~/bemacs-kit/be   No luck. Here is the message:

This is ~/bemacs-kit/be

#!/bin/sh

if [ "$DISPLAY" == "" ]

then

        export DISPLAY=:0.0

fi

osascript -e 'activate application "x11"'

~/bemacs-kit/bemacs "$@"

-----------cut------------

save the contents and then chmod +x to make runnable.
