i decided to make a sample.emacs that's really useful -- lots of
stuff that
users really want and no stuff that's really annoying or useless, at least not
by default. i also added lots of explanatory comments, which should really help
beginning Lisp coders out. i'm attaching the result so far.
Looks great. A minor point: the File->Edit directory menu item does not
work under NT since you can't select a directory from a file selection
box. (I've seen win apps work around this by inserting "this filename is
ignored" in the file name field to enable the Open button and then extract
the directory name.)
