Hmm... well, arguably xemacs should be a little more intelligent when looking for its config files - ie always look in a central location like $HOME/.kde if the files aren't found in the current working directory..
Alternatively, could you not cheat, and instead of invoking xemacs directly, make a wrapper script for it which does a cd /wherever-it-should-run-from and then invokes xemacs? Just a few thoughts, that's all.. David On Thursday 27 February 2003 18:08, Michael Schuerig wrote: > For a lot of my editing I prefer XEmacs over KDE-native tools.
