Is 'add-path an Xemacs thing? I don't think it is something that
normally is part of Emacs 23. I think a fairly idiomatic way to do
this in Emacs is to use 'add-to-list -- since 'load-path is just a
list of strings, and 'add-to-list is nicer than pushing or setq-ing
and consing or something because it checks to make sure it's not
adding a duplicate before adding anything to the list. So something
like --
(add-to-list 'load-path "~/.EMACS")
-- might be work.
