Thanks Peter, reading this I now remember vaguely coming across this  
information before when trying so sort out a similar problem.

I think this (~/.MacOSX/environment.plist) is a superior solution to  
the one I posted, since one wants as much as possible to avoid loading  
elisp code on startup as much as one can.

I'll try this out tomorrow, and then maybe I'll look to see if this  
info is in the emacs wiki and, if not, add it in an appropriate place.

Thanks Again

Lars
