Hmmm... I'm curious about how you implement the timing (or triggering) of this automatic procedure. My interest in this question extends beyond the problem of keeping my .emacs files in synch. There are a few other housekeeping jobs like this one that I'd like to run automatically "right after I leave work", but the time I leave work varies considerably from day to day, so following a fixed daily schedule for doing this (e.g. with cron) would not work too well in general... Come to think of it, given my work habits, it probably would require a pretty sophisticated bit of AI to have such jobs run for me automatically and at the right time every day... kj -- NOTE: In my address everything before the first period is backwards; and the last period, and everything after it, should be discarded.
