Lines: 13 I have just begun to use X-windows and have a basic question that I cannot solve from the manuals. If anyone has the time and consideration to answer, I would be greatful. So here goes: What is the name and location of the file where one gives the x startup the commands to do certain things (i.e. open up a window with Emacs running in it, declare a raster file background upon initialization, etc.) I know the commands but am not sure where X looks for them. Thanks for anyone's help. Stephen Bohler.
