John,

Where would I actually find this code? Or is there a way of changing Emacs
settings from within emacs (like a init file that emacs reads before starting
up)? What kind of language are we talking (LISP, I summize from the readings)?
Would I have to go into Emacs source code (if so, what's it called on my
drive)? Sorry for all of the questions but you peeked my interest with the
statement below.
