Hey, it looks like I hit the wrong key again!  Dang, I hate when that
happens, I meant to r(espond).  Regardless, I wouldn't bothered with
this message if I hadn't rushed out the last one so quickly that I
made an erronious diagnosis.  I corrected myself via mail to the
original poster, but now I find that I must correct myself on the net
also.

Text beyond the "As to your problem that you posted," line is fairly
bogus.  Since my own defvar of file-name-abbreviation-alist is
`list'ed and not quoted, I assumed the poster's was also, hence the
quest for another possible trouble.

Also, the first comment in the .emacs portion is misleading.  I
originally played around with soft and hard links with this stuff, and
then said, "Aw, #$%! it.".  Should read,

  ;; Byte-compile ~/.emacs.elc if necessary, then load it.

My humbled apologies,
