Let me first make sure that I understand your problem: Your login name is, say, lektu on one machine, barranj on another. You want to use one .emacs for both, hence you can not do (setq inhibit-startup-echo-area-message "lektu") nor: (setq inhibit-startup-echo-area-message "barranj") Or at least not just one of them. What I suggested before: (defun startup-echo-area-message ()) now seems stupid. The solution to the problem I describe would be to put both lines above in .emacs. It works and people could blindly copy your .emacs, no problem, at least not in as far as inhibit-startup-echo-area-message is concerned. But is the above your real problem? Sincerely, Luc.
