   I think that I can understand what you want.  Basically you want 
   the -u flag to do the equivalent of 'su - user' but for GNU Emacs 
   rather than for a  shell.
   Hmm...  Seems like quiet a lot of work to get absolutely right.

Yes! This is what I am trying to ask for.  Thanks!

Currently, at someone's suggestion (sorry, I lost track of who),
I have a copy of the code from site-init.el that parses the
command line to figure out if you have used the "-u" switch and
the argument for it.  However, I think this is a kludge (for my
purposes, anyway.)

What do people (other than myself) use the "-u" switch for?
