Then you can put: (putenv "HOME" "/some/path") at the start of your ~/.emacs Of course, it'll use the normal $HOME to find ~/.emacs. If that's not what you want, you only can write a trampoline script: % cat ~/bin/emacs #!/bin/bash export HOME=/some/path exec /usr/local/bin/emacs "$@" -- __Pascal Bourguignon__ http://www.informatimago.com/ Nobody can fix the economy.
