You want the Emacs Lisp Reference Manual, which is available online as HTML, or can be bought in book format, or can be downloaded as a gzipped set of info files. And this list, emacs-wiki-discuss, is very helpful with programming issues and questions. As for whether you put the set up in a config file or your emacs file, it's a design choice. I move items into seperate config files to keep my .emacs file from getting even larger and hairer and more disgusting. At the bottom of any config files I create, I put the following: (provide 'pjh-planner-config) ;; or whatever its name is ;;; Local Variables: ;;; after-save-hook: (emacs-lisp-byte-compile) ;;; End: The after-save-hook stuff means that any time I edit and save the file, it gets compiled, which speeds everything up when its loaded. I make sure to put my config file on my load-path (type ^H v load-path to find out what yours is -- mnemonic is "help variable load-path") and in my .emacs file I put: (require 'pjh-planner-config) HTH! -- Patricia J.
