emacs on OSF/1 v2.0 (installed version)



Forgive me if this is really obvious, or belongs elsewhere, but I'm hoping
some of you are ex-VMS folks and can point me in the right direction.

Since moving from VMS -> Ultrix -> OSF/1, and learning emacs on Ultrix,
the functionality (or lack of) keeps changing. Right now, I'm working
with a bare-bones .emacs:

(load "vt200")
(load "keypad")
(load "edt")

which gives me *some* semblence of VMS EDT when I do:

        emacs -nw myfile

but if I just startup emacs under Motif  with "emacs myfile" and it comes up
in its own window, I get numeric keypad and no EDT emulation.

Could some kind soul please tell me:
        * how to get emacs to come up in its own window with an application
          keypad?
        * what a reasonable .emacs file that would give me EDT/TPU emulation
          would look like?
        * how to use the "lispdir.el" file and "LCD-datafile" files mentioned
          in the emacs FAQ to find initialization files for emacs?
        * how to make initialization files mentioned in ".emacs" work?

I have a GNU emacs manual, but it doesn't seem to be helping me much -
can anyone suggest something along the lines of "Emacs under X for complete
dummies who haven't a clue"????? %:^P

Thanks in advance for any help you can send!!!
