have some or all of the packages on a local disk, such as a CDROM. If
you want to install from a local disk, you must first tell XEmacs where
to find the package binaries. This is done by adding a line like the
-following to your `.emacs' file:
+following to your init file:
(setq package-get-remote (cons (list nil "/my/path/to/package/binaries")
package-get-remote))
+ *Note Init File::.
+
Here, you'd change `/my/path/to/package/binaries' to be the path to
your local package binaries. Next, restart XEmacs, and you're ready to
go (advanced users can just re-evaluate the sexp).
and reads the specified file, defining abbrevs according to its
contents. `M-x quietly-read-abbrev-file' is the same but does not
display a message in the echo area; it is actually useful primarily in
-the `.emacs' file. If you give an empty argument to either of these
-functions, the file name Emacs uses is the value of the variable
-`abbrev-file-name', which is by default `"~/.abbrev_defs"'.

Emacs offers to save abbrevs automatically if you have changed any of
them, whenever it offers to save all files (for `C-x s' or `C-x C-c').
command is similar, but deletes existing aliases first.
If you want multiple addresses separated by a string other than `,'
-(a comma), then set the variable `mail-alias-seperator-string' to it.
+(a comma), then set the variable `mail-alias-separator-string' to it.
This has to be a comma bracketed by whitespace if you want any kind of
reasonable behavior.
