I don't think that finding out the name of the right initialization
file should be the main reason to decide on what editor to use.  If
the OP was going out of his way to achieve something that would be of
a crucially different complexity with a different program/system, it
would make sense to discuss his decision.  As it stands, you are just
being ridiculous.
