Yes this *is* correct. Sorry, but i am using commandline interpreters on unix
and on my st. So i did not worry about file extensions. Perhaps you should
name them .TTP (they take parameters and are no GEM programs).

This file *is not* broken. It's compiled code for emacs. I know about the error
message if you set an environment var $USER (that's because i got code from
our vax and have not changed everything for the st) but that should not cause
any problems (beside the message).

You should see a cursor - even if you ommit loading loadup.el (try 'emacs -nl').
It would be correct if you named the file something other than .PRG or .APP.
But you must have \etc\termcap on the current drive where you are starting
emacs. Otherwise it would not know about the escape-sequences needed for
cursor-positioning or the escape-sequences sent by the function and cursor
keys.
