Is there a setting in Customize to control whether to use init.el or .emacs for configuration? Trying to set symlinks from $HOME to another directory and it's f

  I believe the code that controls that is all in startup.el (or startup.el.gz) in the Emacs distribution. You can find the documentation here: https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/emacs/Find-Init.html https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/emacs/Fi... I do know that ~/.emacs takes precedence over ~/.emacs.d/init.el. I've taken advantage of that in the past to keep all the public configuration that I share between machines in ~/.emacs.d/init.el, and then on my work machine I had a ~/.emacs that wraps a (load "~/.emacs.d/init") with some company-specific configuration.

    The stink of it is, I had this working: mouse-mode, correct symlinks, all of it...for like 10 mins. before I realized, 'oh crud, I forgot to disable something' and in my haste of mucking w/ settings, tossed the good init I had trying to ID what was missing. Self: You're dumb I think I can recreate it, but I've got other stuff to do too, so this may get paused for a while - Monterey beckons as I have yet to take that plunge, although I really should soon.
