+Q3.0.4: How can I add directories to the `load-path'?
+-----------------------------------------------------
+
+ Here are two ways to do that, one that puts your directories at the
+front of the load-path, the other at the end:
+
+ ;;; Add things at the beginning of the load-path, do not add
+ ;;; duplicate directories:
+ (pushnew "bar" load-path :test 'equal)
+
+ (pushnew "foo" load-path :test 'equal)
+
+ ;;; Add things at the end, unconditionally
+ (setq load-path (nconc load-path '("foo" "bar")))

This is fine if you only need a few functions within the lambda body.
If you're doing more it's cleaner to define a separate function as in
(scroll-down 1))
(global-set-key [(control ?.)] 'scroll-up-one-line) ; C-.
- (global-set-key [(control ? ;)] 'scroll-down-one-line) ; C-;
+ (global-set-key [(control ?;)] 'scroll-down-one-line) ; C-;
The key point is that you can only bind simple functions to keys; you
can not bind a key to a function that you're also passing arguments to.
Generally, the simplest way is to define a key as Multi_key with
xmodmap, e.g.
- xmodmap -e 'keycode 0xff20 = Multi_key'
+ xmodmap -e 'keycode 0xff20 = Multi_key'
You will need to pick an appropriate keycode. Use xev to find out
the keycodes for each key.
automatically define the right `Windows' key as Multi_key'.]
Once you have Multi_key defined, you can use e.g.
- Multi a ' => á
- Multi e " => ë
- Multi c , => ç
+ Multi a ' => á
+ Multi e " => ë
+ Multi c , => ç
etc.
Also, recent versions of XFree86 define various AltGr-<key>
combinations as dead keys, i.e.
- AltGr [ => dead_diaeresis
- AltGr ] => dead_tilde
- AltGr ; => dead_acute
+ AltGr [ => dead_diaeresis
+ AltGr ] => dead_tilde
+ AltGr ; => dead_acute
etc.
Running `xmodmap -pk' will list all of the defined keysyms.
You can use a color to make it stand out better:
- Emacs*cursorColor: Red
+ Emacs*cursorColor: Red

-Q4.0.2: How do I get VM to filter mail for me?
-----------------------------------------------
-
- One possibility is to use procmail to split your mail before it gets
-to VM. I prefer this personally, since there are many strange and
-wonderful things one can do with procmail. Procmail may be found at
-`ftp://ftp.informatik.rwth-aachen.de/pub/packages/procmail/'.

- Also see the Mail Filtering FAQ at:
