My apologies if I'm not posting this to the right list, I've already tried the gnu emacs help newsgroup, with no success. I'm thinking it's a specific debian configuration problem..
I'm having trouble getting emacs to startup with parameters specified in .emacs. Specifically, I want it to start in text mode, with word wrap turned on. I have the following lines in my .emacs file: :;;Emacs configuration file (setq initial-major-mode 'text-mode) (add-hook 'text-mode-hook 'turn-on-auto-fill) (custom-set-variables '(make-backup-files nil)) (custom-set-faces) Should do what it takes right? but, it's not working. Any suggestions? -- "Make voyages, attempt them, there's nothing else." --Tennessee Williams
