Here's what I've just tried, based on the default  
~/.MacOSX/environment.plist and an exploration of the hidden  
directories of my Mac:

I hope I got the ordering right (from the more generic to the more  
specific), didn't forget anything and didn't add anything  
unnecessary/harmful. I got the impression /usr/share/info and  
/usr/share/man are a default component of OS X, right? I'm not sure  
where the /opt directory comes from ; maybe some months ago when I  
tried an Emacs built by Jordan Hubbard of Apple/DarwinPorts fame.

Actually I just realized there's already a similar file, though without  
the path settings, in the Enhanced Carbon Emacs distro as  
emacs-docs/dot-emacs.el. Plus there is the new .emacs just posted by  
Enrico Franconi as I was writing this message.

A couple of remarks:

- IMO, the proposed Emacs icon by Massimiliano Gubinelli is nicer than  
the default Gnu one. Could it be made the default, if Massimiliano  
agrees?

- Is there a way of replacing the default Courier font by Monaco?

- How is it possible to specify TeXniscope as the viewer?

- In LaTeX mode, in Commands/Print the only printers displayed are  
"brother" and "franconi-printer". How is this changed?

- Is it normal that, when Options/Show/Hide/Tool-bar is checked, the  
toolbar isn't displayed?
