The recommended answer to this FAQ is to start emacs once when you log in and then just keep it running as a server forever. Edit new files as a client. It won't matter if emacs takes 2 or 10 seconds to load when you do it twice a year. See gnuserv/gnuclient or ???/emacsclient. -- Ken Goldman kgold@watson.ibm.com 914-784-7646
