Re: Emacs Initialization

[Steve A Branch]

Skip and Felix,

The addition of the early-init.el  seems to have solved the timing
problem.  Thank you very much for your help.  I appreciate it very much.

I would like to become much more proficient with the initialization of
emacs.  Is there some reading you can suggest?

Thanks,

Steve
