[gnu.emacs.bug] Possible enhancement to emacs

worley@compass.com (Dale Worley) (09/14/89)

It would be useful for the name of the user who owns the
initialization file that was loaded to be available in a global
variable.  This way, an init file could do something like

(setq load-path (cons (expand-file-name (concat "~" init-user "/bin"))
		      load-path))

could be used in a way that could be loaded by other users (via the
-user startup option), and the whole construction could be copied by
one user from another user.

This information is already calculated into the local variable 'init'
in command-line in startup.el; I just want it turned into a global
variable.

Thanks,

Dale
