That's one of the places whare it might be. It might even default there if HOME is not set. Back in the 20th century, Windows didn't like files starting with a '.'. So _emacs was supported as an alternate. Today, .emacs is fine, although Windows Explorer isn't pleased with it. -- Ken Goldman [EMAIL PROTECTED] 914-784-7646 _______________________________________________ Help-gnu-emacs mailing list Help-gnu-emacs@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/help-gnu-emacs
