My guess is that the problem is starting the tlgd daemon.  The blank
buffer is probably in emacs-lisp mode (that's where I left it),
so you could try evaluating some expressions.  Could you try evaluating
the variable "tlg-works" in that buffer?  (That is--and pardon me if
I'm telling you something you already know--type 'tlg-works' in the
buffer, perhaps at the end, and then, with the cursor located just
after tlg-works, type C-x C-e).  You should get a message that runs off 
your message window, beginning something like this:
  (("001" (file . [lots of other stuff follows, depending on the buffer]
If this does happen, then Meadow is receiving and evaluating the
works list information, and the problem may be that the display is
just hanging because of tlgd.  If, on the other hand, you get
the message "Symbol's value as variable is void: tlg-works", then
we're not even getting to that stage.

One solution worth trying would be eliminating the use of tlgd.
This will leave beta code untranslated in titles, but everything
else ought to work.  That will require removing all the lines of
the form (tlg-start-tlgd) and (tlg-stop-tlgd) and also replacing
any string of the form (tlg-translate-beta (<expression>)) with
just (<expression>).  (I don't think I'm going to have the time
to run through this today).  If that fixes the problem, then at
least we know where the difficulty lies.
