Emacs 21 and Xemacs will execute any lisp code present in a .flc file
that accompanies the file the user opens.

The same applies to emacs22.

Our emacs maintainer said version 22 would warn you that lisp code from the 
file would be executed. Could you confirm otherwise?

At least not with the emacs22 installation I tried this with (22.2).
As this is a rather old version, this may depend on the 
version used?

Cheers
Nico
