The real trick is trying to write something portable between emacs
and xemacs. Anyway...
;; inhibit annoying messages
(setq inhibit-startup-echo-area-message t)
(setq inhibit-startup-message t)
;; set general defaults
(setq tab-width 2)
(setq indent-tabs-mode nil)
(setq initial-major-mode 'text-mode)
(setq default-major-mode 'text-mode)
;; add my libraries to load-path
(setq load-path
(append (list (expand-file-name "~michaels/etc/emacs"))
load-path))
p4.el available from http://www.dsmit.com/p4/ is kinda nice if you're
