There are several ways of doing this. You can open your ~/.emacs and simply do M-x eval-buffer RET. But it would also be sufficient to just evaluate the newly added sexp, e.g. by marking them and calling M-x eval-region.

You could take a look at the manual yourself and see, if we missed something: (info "(Emacs) Backup"). (In case you do not know how to open the manual based on the expression above: Place your curser after the ')' closing the info expression and press `C-x C-e'.) Regards, -- Alexander Baier
