Probably the simplist way would be to create an alias for emacs that
runs emacs -q -l my.config (Or a function)
The -q tells emacs not to load .emacs... and the -l tells emacs to
load whatever filename follows.
The alias route would look like this (in .bashrc) (assuming you are using
bash as your shell)
alias='myem emacs -q -l ~/my.conf' (Use any name (without spaces)
that you want in place of `myem' and `my.conf'.
I usually prefer functions... but either way if fine. A function would
look like (in .bashrc.):
myem () { emacs -q -l ~/my.conf; }
Ditto about the names... but the spacing and format need to be exactly
like that, including the semi-colon... the shell is fussy about functions.
