I recently tried Xemacs for the first time from the rex directory tree. While for the most part I like it better than regular Emacs, I can't seem to get the command-line switch -f to work. Under Emacs, I would do: emacs -f auto-fill-mode filename to start in auto fill mode. The same thing in Xemacs doesn't work though. Anyone know why?
