I have a number of uEmacs based comnmands that rely on the form
emacs file1 file2 @startup-file
to read in the normal .emacsrc file along with the special startup
file used to process files 1 & 2. This works FINE in 3.8i. It
doesn't work in 3.9 and I can't find the problem. It seems to be
somewhere in the dobuf routine which, at some point, calls itself!
However, I have not been able to locate how or where this happens.
At any rate, everything seems to go well up to that point. Beyond
that it croaks and just leaves the file in a buffer. I am able to
execute that buffer with no problem, but of course, I really want
the automatic execution formerly provided by '@'.
BTW, I could find no mention of the '@' facility in the formated
manual and it may be '@' is no longer an official part of uEmacs.
If so, I wish somebody would put it back!
If anybody has solved this problem, or can solve it, please let me know.
