Re: minor points regarding initialization files

Stephen and Ray have pretty much satisfied my questions on site-lisp and the directory structure in XEmacs, and I think I have a better handle on that stuff than I ever did. Cool. First I'd heard of it, of course. NP. All my custom packages are now neatly tucked away beneath .xemacs, where they will remain forevermore. Okay. I do have stuff that I want to happen right away, so I have a file called site-start.el in my .xemacs directory, but I load it explicitly (using load-file, not load-library). Ah, I'd forgotten about -vanilla, though I used to use it often. I'm convinced. I've put CWD in PATH since the middle eighties, but I've engaged in several arguments where others have argued against it. I used to write dozens, even hundreds of shell scripts, some of them brief, some of them quite developed, and in the course of programming and testing them, I hated to have to type ./whatever every time. So I just got in the habit of having ":" at the front of my PATH. I just changed it and will see how it goes. Should cause no problem at all. And if I ever do that kind of work again, I can always create a symlink to somewhere in $PATH. Okay, all this stuff is resolved to my satisfaction. I'm still trying to figure out what's wrong with some of my key bindings. That's another thread.
