The reason I like it this way is so that I dont need to bother finding out which files to copy when I move between differnt OS installations. @Peter: Sorry that I didnt realize that was a single command entirely. I tried: $ env EMACSLOADPATH=3D~/EmacsHome emacs and it opens emacs with an error in the minibar which reads: byte-code: Cannot open load file: warnings and in the terminal there is an error that reads: could not find simple.el But, I have placed the same .emacs in both the folders - the HOME as well as EmacsHome So, I tried C-x C-f ~/.emacs and I modified the first string so that I can find out which .emacs is being modified - and its the one in the HOME folder.
