emacs & xemacs

[Goeman Stefan <Stefan.Goeman@siemens.atea.be>]

Hello Everybody,


For historical reasons I still like to use emacs_20.6 and I am just
experimenting with xemacs.
The problem is that for some global settings both programs make use of the
file .emacs.
I find this not so convenient and I would like emacs_20.6 to use the file
.emacs and I would 
like xemacs to use another file like for example .xemacs.

Does anybody have an idea to do this?

By the way, how do I change the background color of my xemacs window (i.e.
the part of the window
where the text appears.).


Greetings,


Stefan Goeman.
