Most other programs have a way of telling them to use a different init file:
'mutt -F <>', 'vi -i <>', etc.
But I can't figure out how to do that in emacs. Is there a why? How/why not?
Thanks.

Did you ask Emacs? Ask Emacs first.
`C-h r i command-line TAB RET' takes you to node `Emacs Invocation'.
https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/emacs/Emacs-Invocation.html
Choosing `Initial Options' there takes you to a node that tells
you how to not load your normal init file (`-q'). And choosing
`Action Arguments' takes you to a node that tells you how to
load an arbitrary file (`-l').
