This isn't the emacs help list... Anyways, a less intrusive method is to start a Terminal and use ls -a.
As far as I can tell, the stock emacs on Mac actually works with a .emacs.d directory into which you are supposed to drop .el files, rather than the monolithic .emacs file. I see claims that it should be possible to use emacsclient with aquamacs, which would bypass the entire ESS install issue since aquamacs already has it, but I cant seem to make it work here. -pd On 01 Mar 2017, at 18:11 , David Winsemius <dwinsem...@comcast.net> wrote: >> >> On Mar 1, 2017, at 4:28 AM, Ulrik Stervbo <ulrik.ster...@gmail.com> wrote: >> >> Files starting with dots are hidden files on Mac.
