This is extremely cool, but how can I > have it load my local ".emacs" file when it does? Try M-x load-file RET /user@host:/path/to/.emacs RET. This logs into host via ftp. Then there is Tramp which allows you to use ssh instead of ftp. (Warning: I started Tramp.) I think what I would do is to set up a CVS repository and put my dot files in there, then write a Makefile that sets up symlinks from $HOME to the locations in the CVS repository. (That's actually what I did.) Then it becomes easy to access your dot files from anywhere, and also the modifications will propagate if you check in on your main machine and regularly update on the clients (or client's). -- A turnip curses Elvis
