Apologies for the late reply.

This has no effect whatsoever in 0.99.18 running on Windows XP.

With 0.99.18 running on Fedora Core 6, Jed chokes on the .jedrc with a 
message that emulation is undefined. It then changes the color scheme to 
something in various shades of gray, changes to a scratch buffer, and 
prompts for a new input file.
