Subject: .emacs file missing with emacsW32 (?)
Date: Sun, 02 Sep 2007 17:23:40 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <46DAE38C.2050602@gmail.com> (raw)
I've been using Emacs and XEmacs on and off for a few years now - mostly
to run R (with ESS) and LaTeX - on both Windows XP and Ubuntu.
I installed the latest emacsW32 onto my Windows XP machine and am
confused. I need to edit my .emacs file to allow ESS to run but can't
find my .emacs file (yes, I can see hidden files and have searched for
_emacs too). In emacs when I search the HOME directory it takes me to
"C:\Documents and Settings\Quin\Application Data" which has a
".emacs.d" directory but no sight of my init file. Previously my .emacs
file was just in "C:\"
Had a look about for help and in the FAQs but am not spotting anything
useful. Where is my .emacs file? Yikes, sorry to be so dumb. Thanks in
advance.
