Thanks, Sean and Peter and Stefan. I didn't know that 'calculator was
being autoloaded from somewhere, so I guess I can remove that line from
my .emacs. It turns out that all of the various ways of binding the
C-return key work just fine. The problem was that I thought .emacs was
being read from site-lisp when in fact it was being read from d:\emacs.
My directory structure in this neck of the woods is
d:emacs\emacs-21.3\bin etc. Since one thing leads to another, my
question now is whether it's possible to force runemacs.exe to look for
.emacs in site-lisp instead of whatever is in HOME (or HOME$ or ~\,
whatever that means). Is there a search path order where .emacs is
looked for?

Thanks again,

Ed.
