Message-ID: <hbdov1$f1n$1@reader1.panix.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: mailman.7745.1254292011.2239.help-gnu-emacs@gnu.org

Please explain to me, in maybe a tutorial way that can get included
in the emacs-manual, what's wrong with plain old .emacs in HOME dir?

I mean, this is looking like a big deal.  Every book (rms, ETC) and
*info* on emacs says to do it that way, as far as I can remember.

Has that "official policy" changed recently, and if so, why, and
where documented.

Thanks!

David
