What about
HOME=~user xemacs
as a substitute for
xemacs -u user
or is there more to it than that?
There's almost certainly more to it than that. '-u user' is documented as
"load that user's init file". You probably don't want $HOME set to
~user
(consider 'cd', 'efs', and anything that launches a sub-process that
looks
for a ~/.foobarrc file).
