I have researched the solution...

Thanks!

When this happens Emacs will attempt to load ~./emacs but cannot because it is in AFS space where…

(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…
