Hi; 

Where and how do I put the (set-scroll-bar-mode 'right) command so that
it applies to all users?  ~/.emacs only works for individual users.
Besides, it looks a bit 'hacky' in .emacs.  When emacs opens the
scrollbar flashes on the left and then obviously (for a split second) is
transferred to the right.  How can I set it up so that emacs is always
initially drawn with the scroll bar on the right?

Put into site-start.el. Put the file into a component of load-path,  
for example /usr/local/share/emacs/site-lisp.

Use an X resource! There often is the choice to put scroll-bars in  
X11 on the right or on the left of the window.

For GNU Emacs you could also set initial-frame-alist and/or default- 
frame-alist to contain amongst its/their member(s)

Hi;

Ever since I started to use Linux and Emacs (two years ago), this little
problem had being annoying me.  With the help of the list it is finally
fixed.  Below is the solution if any one else wants it.
