I see. Thanks for clarifying. In my original e-mail I also forgot to
mention that the advice of Peter Dyballa to use a .emacs for customization
was the correct advice. Thanks Peter. I got the idea to use
~/.emacs/init.el from the Emacs Starter Kit (
https://github.com/technomancy/emacs-starter-kit/ ). Presumably it is no
substitute for .emacs.
Thanks again everyone,
Nathan
