We are running Gnu Emacs 18.51 on Sun 3's with SunOS 4.0.3.
In the manual it says that you can automatically set the 'load-path'
variable by setting the EMACSLOADPATH environment variable. I have
been able to get this to work if I only want to have one directory
in the load path but have tried several different formats and
have been unable to get more than one path to be set properly.
I get something like ("\"path1\" \"path2\"") rather than
simply ("path1" "path2") for the value of load-path.
I would be interested to find out if you can set a multiple path
load path from the environment and if so how.

In your .emacs file, simply put (setq load-path (append load-path
'("new path"))).

With 18.55, we use the following line in our .login: setenv EMACSLOADPATH /usr/tools/lib/emacs/lisp/local:/usr/tools/lib/emacs/lisp very obvious (I looked in the source code). sja. uunet!mitel!spock!stephena
