My ~/.emacs start-up file is stored in my AFS home directory. Often when I login to a linux machine I will forget to renew my AFS credentials before attempting to edit a local (non-AFS) file with Emacs.
When this happens Emacs will attempt to load ~./emacs but cannot because it is in AFS space where…

If I use the following .emacs file, I am able to go to the beginning/end of the current line using the home/end keys as I would expect.

When I try to compile GNU Emacs 23.1 on my machine with Mac OS X 10.6.3 I repeatedly get the following ending:

I have seen a few suggestions on making emacs portable (on Windows). I have this in my site-start.el:
(defvar program-dir (substring data-directory 0 -4))
(setq inhibit-startup-message t)
(setenv "HOME" program-dir)
I changed the HOME variable so that not only my .emacs init files (and other init…

I thought I knew how to set coding-system (or encoding): use process-coding-system-alist. Apparently, it's not working.

I'm making some tedious calls to a bunch of functions, but the parameters will be determined at runtime. I wrote a simple function to keep my code DRY but giving it a name is unnecessary. I don't use this function anywhere else.
I'm trying to do it the way I would in Scheme, but I get a void-function…

I would like to temporarily override the kill-new function. I have a way I want to reimplement kill-new that works in only in certain contexts, but I don't want to reimplement a special version of kill-region on top of that. (kill-new is called from kill-region)
Since Emacs Lisp uses dynamic scoping…

I'd like to recenter a buffer, called "Lense", where I've inserted some text. I wished to make it the current buffer by "(set-buffer "Lense")", then "(recenter 0))". By the following code segments:
(save-excursion (set-buffer "Lense")
(recenter 0))
However, it seems that the above…

I am hacking up a tagging application for emacs. I have got a tag cloud/weighted list successfully displaying on a buffer, but i am running into a snag. I need to be able to properly word-wrap the buffer, but I haven't a clue where to start.
The font I am using is a variable width font. On top…
