The foreign one is the ns variant, your own is the mac variant – according to the variable window-system.


BTW, you don't need to grep, GNU Emacs has string-match and similar functions built-in.

Without vi there is only GNU Emacs


P.S.: I have ~/.emacs as my init file and also ~/.emacs_nil, ~/.emacs_ns, ~/.emacs_mac, ~/.emacs_x – the last word in the file names is taken from window-system. This way my central ~/.emacs file is quite small and easy to maintain – and so are the "out-sourced" special additions. My code is:

	(load (format "~/.emacs_%s" window-system))
