Hi, 			<Emacs 18.52 berkeley-unix>

	I'm old to emacs but new to having to administer it.  A few
questions: 

* How do you get emacs to load site specific files?   I found a file
	"site-load.el" which seems to want to be the right thing.
	However, emacs doesn't seem to load the file.  What could I be
	doing wrong? 

* How does one learn to program in emacs lisp?

* Is there any way to tell rnews to read remote news (stored on
	another machine)?

* Things I'd like to see: editting a remote file (ie, use rcp to get
	the file, edit it, and use rcp to save it), editting a
	compressed file (use uncompress, edit the file, recompress).


Thanks for any help I might receive (the questions are in priority
order).
