However, I do use Emacs a lot, and have a relatively small, but still useful .emacs file. It has configurations in it, without which I am starting to feel uncomfortable. I use Emacs on many different machines (~5), and it would be nice to have a standard .emacs file. In Perl, I could easily put one on the web, and then have Perl download it and use eval() to load the functions in it. However, I do not know how to do this with Elisp. Does anyone out there know (of a way to do it, or of another way)? I would be very greatful if you told me! Thanks in advance! -- Leonid Grinberg lgrinberg@gmail.com http://www.lgrinberg.org
