Thank you, Ralf. It is easier. Make a shortcut to bring up the config file. Make an edit and re-evaluate the individual defun (or form). Done. The more you do it the quicker it'll be because you will be better and better at Lisp. Which is a gain in itself. Only if you do it *too* much you'll start doing all sorts'a things in Lisp. Then it will be much, much slower :) > Thank you to all you emacs fans.
