Perhaps my original message wasn't clear enough. This is the problem. We 
are not allowed to have any permissions for "others" on our home 
directories.  Thank you for your replies, but they won't help me.  What I 
was thinking was to put my .emacs in a directory outside of my home 
directory (that way the directory can have any permits I want).

Thanks again.
