Hi Nick,

Yes, long options do work, even with the alias.

emacs starts up, skips my initialization files, and loads the minimal
.emacs.  M-x locate-library RET org-latex RET points to the org
identified in the minimal .emacs.

I guess this means that all is well on the org end :)  And that my old
initialization files didn't make the upgrade to emacs 24 and the
emacs 24 starter kit :(

Thanks for all your help.

Tom
