OT: One .emacs file for both Emacses

["Neil L. Roeth" <neil@occamsrazor.net>]

Yes.  I have this ~/.emacs:

------------------------------------------------------------------------------;; -*- Mode: Emacs-Lisp -*-

(setq debug-on-error nil)
(setq debug-on-signal nil)

(setq my-lisp-path "/home/neil/elisp")

(setq load-path (cons my-lisp-path load-path))

(if running-xemacs (load ".xemacs") (load ".emacs"))
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

then in /home/neil/elisp/.emacs I have:

------------------------------------------------------------------------------;; -*- Mode: Emacs-Lisp -*-

(load "common.el")

<Emacs specific stuff follows>
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

and similar for .xemacs.  As the name implies, common.el has elisp
that is common to both.  I use XEmacs with VM for mail, and Emacs for
most other stuff.
