My name is JP Massar. I am the author of Elisp for CCA Emacs. Recently I left CCA and am now working for Thinking Machines Corporation (ihnp4!godot!massar). The problem with .elisp_init files is in the Emacs initialization code where it attempts to invoke an Elisp M-X function which hasn't been defined yet. I was not able to figure out a fix before I left CCA. However, .elisp_init files can be short-circuited by using the .emacs_init file with the command M-X Load Elisp File$<put here an Elisp file you want loaded on initialization>$ inserted into it. ****************************************************** CCA is probably not going to distribute user-written Elisp packages for some time, if ever. I would be happy to collect well documented and tested packages and turn them over to CCA for them to include in their distribution tapes, or perhaps publish a collection in net.sources. I would also be glad to discuss Elisp with people who have an interest; I will not, however, be fixing specific bugs.
