Re: new sample.emacs

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.
i'm interested in seeing other people's init.el files so i can mine other
interesting stuff. please feel free to mail me. i'm especially interested in
code that enables various packages. [eventually i hope to make an
`enable-behavior' function so you can turn on and off these features just by
giving a name, without having to utter lots of obscure incantations.]

Do you want submissions to your email address or posted to the list?
My offerings will arrive when I return to work Monday. My main
contribution will be to show how to use multiple, smaller init files
that are serially called from init.el. That way init.el is not one huge
file. I organize loosely like this:
defun.el - my self-defined functions
package.el - invoking other packages
keys.el - key mappings not associated with defun.el or package.el
init.el calls each one in turn.
BTW, thanks for all the comments in init.el. I've learned/clarified
quite a bit from them at first glance.
