Hi,

Does anyone know if there is a way to launch Emacs with an alternative 
initialization file (for one session only)? I'm looking for something like

    emacs --use-init-file foo.el


Regards,

August

does 
emacs -q -l file
do what you want? See man emacs or the emacs manual, section on
command line arguments.
