I write Elisp > codes in it, but Emacs Seems don,t load it. Why? Are you sure that is the file that is being read on Emacs startup? In the Unix world, the file is .emacs, because typically every program has an init file (or several), and many end up in the user's home directory, so they can't be called "init". Not even in this case with the Elisp extention, as other Emacs components would also be ".el"! But you can still call it whatever you want and just load it from .emacs - set the `load-path' there as well so Emacs will know where to look! But even so calling it "init" is perhaps not as good as calling it something that describes what it contains - "keybindings.el", for example, if that is what it is. Good luck! Come back with more questions if you don't get it to work. PS. Another thing - try (succeed) to write a subject line which somehow describes your problem - this doesn't have to be super-elaborate, just "Emacs can't find init.el on startup" or something. -- underground experts united .... http://user.it.uu.se/~embe8573 Emacs Gnus Blogomatic ......... http://user.it.uu.se/~embe8573/blogomatic - so far: 26 Blogomatic articles -
