People are not supposed to start off > new users with nonstandard Emacs settings. So why do we have site-start.el and site-lisp/default.el ? I have a my own personal PC running GNU/Linux. Nobody else uses it. Yet, I run it as different users for different purposes. The easiest way for me to ensure that all these "pseudo users" have the same emacs setup is to use site-start.el FOR ME AND ONLY ME. So, it's not "people" doing that -- it's "me". > > I think I will put something into startup.el to make this > cease to take effect. Excuse me, but that is SILLY!! Please don't do that! Don't we have better things to do? And what exactly do you intend to change? Enabling cua-mode, viper-mode, delete-selection-mode, pc-selection-mode, glasses-mode, .. any minor mode? -- Kim F.
