Re: Need seperate .emacs file for testing
I tried `xemacs -no-init-file -l my-init-file' like you suggested, but all that
does is give a blue 'load my-init-file' in the upper-right corner of the
window, and when I saved my changes, it still saved to .emacs.
It would be nice to have the option to use a different .emacs file for a
session, and any changes would be saved to that file. My .emacs file also
loads a config file called .xemacs-options so I would be using another version
of that called .xemacs-options-beta so any changes would have to be saved to
that file as well.

Try a xemacs -no-init-file -l my-init-file
