Aquamacs is an Aqua-native build of the powerful Emacs text editor

Aquamacs is an Aqua-native build of the powerful Emacs text editor. By "Aqua-native," we mean more than just the fact that this version of Emacs runs as a standard OS X application. Aquamacs features extensive customization: it will feel and behave mostly like an Aqua program - while still being a real GNU Emacs with all the ergonomy and extensibility you've come to expect from this world-class editor. http://aquamacs.org/about.shtml

The old, reliable (set-cursor-color "#aa88dd") in my .emacs file fails with Aquamacs, unless it is run after Aquamacs has launched. This type of failure is typical of Emacs doing something secretive during launch, but I can't figure out what. I…
