Hi,

Thanks for this explanation.
I’m obviously in a quiet backwater missing sensible updated ways of doing things.
What .emacs.d/ is - that’s very sensible.
Is there a good way of catching-up? Goods info-sources?
File: emacs.info, Node: Find Init, Next: Init Non-ASCII, Prev:
Terminal Init, Up: Init File
49.4.4 How Emacs Finds Your Init File
The first date I can find in my .emacs is 23 years ago, for a function which inserted a
backquote because the old 286 laptop computer I used as a serial terminal while sitting out
on the lawn didn’t have a backquote character.
So maybe I need to be more community-minded...
Nothing in my .emacs is that old, though I've been using emacs since
1998! Every few years I end up starting from scratch for one reason or
another, and only adding customizations that are still relevant.
I keep finding that there are newer ways of doing things, or "new"
packages (only introduced 10 years ago...) I didn't know about. Every
now again I trawl through the package list from `M-x
package-list-packages` for interesting things, and browse www.emacswiki.org
Cheers,
Anthony
