Or you can put:

(set-foreground-color "white")
(set-background-color "black")

in you .emacs file.

Don't know about executing arbitrary commands, but:

# -*- cperl -*-

will tell emacs to use cper-mode.  I believe that only works on
the first line, unless there is a #!... on the first line, in
which case it looks on the second line.  You can also set
variables, e.g.:

# -*- coding: latin-1; -*-

I don't know what all you can set in that way.  I moved over from
the "dark side" a few years ago and switched to vim, so my
previous statements may not be 100% factual.

That statement applies to many other cults as well...
