If .emacs exists and .xemacs doesn't, use that and pray the users knows what they're doing and has the correct version checks. If .xemacs is there (as a single file not a whole directory), use that. For the whole directory, use the site-lisp directory or in your .xemacs file source in stuff as you please. Maybe we could even make it be really friendly and stat() .xemacs. if (S_ISDIR) then source_in("~/.xemacs/init.el") else source_in("~/.xemacs); -- J.
