Re: how to set the default mode to 'emacs' when emacs start?

thanks Tim

I tried to put (setq viper-always nil) in my .emacs, and found if putting it before the vimpulse lines, it disabled vimpulse/viper at all; but putting it after the vimpulse lines seem to have no effect, the editor remains default in vimpulse mode.

just thought of toggle-viper-mode function, putting it in the .emacs after the vimpulse lines, it now works as I hopped.

thanks for help though!

Best, Isaac

Strange that it didn't work for you... it did for me. Oh well. Glad you found a solution! Tim
