I would rather propose a different solution. You can have one ~/.emacs that will check the command-line-args variable for arguments specific to each usage: (let ((pname (file-namestring (first command-line-args)))) (cond ((string= "emacs-ide" pname) ;; do ide specific initialization ) ((string= "emacs-quick-edit" pname) ;; do quick-edit specific initialization ) (t ;; do default emacs specific initialization ))) and use symbolic links to emacs named emacs-ide and emacs-quick-edit. If you really want to keep your initializations in different files, then you can use in ~/.emacs: (let ((pname (file-namestring (first command-line-args)))) (cond ((string= pname "emacs") ;; do default emacs specific initialization ) (t (load (format nil "~/.%s" pname))))) -- __Pascal Bourguignon__ http://www.informatimago.com/ "This statement is false."
