resetting xemacs' idea of home directory

Tim Connors writes: Changing HOME is a bad idea; XEmacs is rife with code that assumes that "~" is your home directory. Maybe you don't use any of that, but there's no easy way to know. You could do something like (defcustom my-root DIRECTORY) (defun find-file-from-file (name &optional codesys wildcards) (interactive "sName of file relative to `my-root': ") (find-file (expand-file-name name my-root) codesys wildcards)) (but you'll lose file-name completion in this simple case, although that could be added). _______________________________________________ XEmacs-Beta mailing list XEmacs-Beta(a)xemacs.org http://calypso.tux.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/xemacs-beta
