title: Importing files in Emacs Lisp/Emacs configuration file in the same directory
body: <p>I have a couple of emacs configuration files. I was going to consolidate them down into a common file and then a couple other files that import the common file. Then have their own functions. I was just going to have them all as .emacsCommon in my home folder but when I write:</p>
  
  <pre><code>(require '.emacsCommon)
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>it doesn't load the function. What is the right way to do this??</p>
  
  <p>Cheers</p>
