elisp question.
it seems to me, that the var default-directory is not updated when
using load-file.
For example, i have in my .emacs this line and nothing else:
(load-file "web/emacs/xah_emacs_init.el")
Then, in the file xah_emacs_init.el
has this line
(load-file "emacs2/init.el")
and nothing else.
However, it is a error because it cannot find init.el.
When adding (message default-directory) to the xah_emacs_init.el, it
still thinks that the dir is "~/".
The elisp doc on default-directory and load-file indicates that this
should work.
