I mean like in the way that the variable $0 carries the the value that is the full name of the script its in. What I'm really after is a say to to add that value to a message ('(message "hello")') Like this message (wrapped for mail): (message "hello world -- from /cvsb/reader/home/reader/lisp/site-start.el") (sit-for 1) that I use sometimes when tracking down how things are loading. How can I reference the name in a variable instead of writing it out?
