| That was also what I thought might be a worry -- if .elc and .el are in
| different directories, Emacs may not be able to find the .el file.

| files.el should be underlined.  If you press RET with point on files.el,

| Does that still work when the .el and .elc files are in different

You quoted some much out of context that I has a non-Elisp programmer amd out
of scope here.  No idea.
