Subject: Inexplicable flaw: non-overridable .emacs
Date: Thu, 15 Mar 2007 18:15:15 +0000 (UTC) [thread overview]
Message-ID: <etc2fj$7dl$1@reader2.panix.com> (raw)
Please correct me if I'm wrong, it is my understanding that one
cannot use a command-line switch to tell emacs to read a config
file *other* than the standard ~/.emacs.
If this is correct, I seems to me an inexplicable design flaw. Is
there some fundamental reason for it?
Of course, if my understanding is incorrect, please toss me a
cluebrick!
TIA!
kj
