This is a client's machine though and so in this instance it would be a little too intrusive-- he doesn't have NFS running on his box and I wouldn't feel comfortable starting it up and running it there. My first thought was simply to edit my own (local) ".emacs" and putting it on his machine (as, say, .emacs-ken, then doing "emacs -t .emacs-ken"). I was looking for something even simpler and more discrete than that. (Sheesh, I'm a lazy SOB.)
