Apart from the options menu settings, my .emacs file contains: (require 'gnuserv) (gnuserv-start) (load-library "my-startup") i.e. all my '.emacs' code is in another file and byte compiled for faster loading. Most of the code in that file is pretty specific to me (not to mention being a f**king mess), so I'm not going to post it. However, one of the more general functions that I have not yet seen elsewhere is: (defun bfr-mouse-call-last-kbd-macro (event) "*Execute last keyboard macro at point of mouse click" (interactive "e") (progn (mouse-set-point event) (call-last-kbd-macro))) (global-set-key [(control meta button1)] 'bfr-mouse-call-last-kbd-macro) This is for xemacs BTW. I seem to remember setting the point being different in GNU emacs IIRC. I have just started looking at http://tiny-tools.sourceforge.net. It seems to have a fair bit of interesting emacs (& Perl) related stuff and links. Indeed, one of the tips I saw there (can't remember exactly where though) was don't prefix your own functions with your initials as this make your code harder to share. Oh well.

M-x apropos efs-.*-process would be my best guess for where to start tweaking. Either that or look for something like ftp-command, and change the value of that from ftp to pftp[0] [0] YMMV is you're not using the same ftp doohicky as my box does. -- Richard Clamp <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

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
working with perforce.

I can't get this to work. At least not with efs under xemacs. It just hangs after issuing the command. Unfortunately, my elisp debugging skills aren't up to sorting it out. :-( -Dom

I have a massive emacs setup of multi-pleasure that's been mouldering for about two-three years. Maybe I should resurrect it. Michael

Hmm. Can you do something to save directly via scp?

I like my .emacs file. It sets nice fonts and colours, and sets the
editing mode and wrapping mode of choice ;-)
I'm sure it can do more...
1) Where do I find handy things to put into my .emacs file on the web?
2) Got any nice bits of your .emacs file to share?
Note that (shock, horror) I can't program lisp properly (duh, I program
perl) so that I may sound stupid when it comes to these things.

P.S. All other editor comments >/dev/null or to sender as I think we've
had quite enough holy wars on this list this month.
Oh that goes for pro/anti lisp/scheme comments too ;-)
