If you look at the code in startup.el, you can see that user-init-file is set to nil if ~/.emacs was not loaded, otherwise it should be the full path to the file. Emacs respects the inhibit-default-init file, unless it it's non-nil the default library should have been loaded. Similarly, unless site-run-file is nil the site-start library should have been loaded. However it is possible that any of those files was partially loaded, then aborted due to errors. I don't know if it's possible to detect those cases after the fact, but if you're concerned you should start emacs with the --debug-init option. -- Kevin Rodgers _______________________________________________ Help-gnu-emacs mailing list Help-gnu-emacs@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/help-gnu-emacs
