It states the following: "Use Xemacs. In your .xemacs/init.el file add the following...." However, I do not have the init.el file in Redhat 8. I have several *init.el files, but not sure which is comparable to the one listed in that post. I'm not even sure if Xemacs is the same as the emacs I have on rh8. Any advice is appreciated.

Just open the file with DOS line endings (CR/LF) -- Emacs will recognize that and display "(DOS)" in the mode-line. Now, if you want to save it with Unix line endings do `C-x RET f iso-latin-1-unix'.
