At the time that early-init.el runs, "window-system" is set to nil. I need to condition my init on whether I'm running under X, on a terminal, or under cocoa ("ns"), so I need to know the value of window-system when setting things in my init file. (I use a single init file on many different machines for sanity's sake.) What should I be doing here? It appears that early-init.el is _too_ early. Perry -- Perry E. Metzger perry@piermont.com
