Hi there,

I have just downloaded the emacs-24.2.tar.gz and followed the 
instructions on http://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/index.html
After having downloaded a program to open tar. I unpacked the file..
It says: "You can run Emacs without any extra steps, but if you want 
icons in your Start Menu, or for Emacs to detect the image libraries 
that are already installed on your system as part of GTK, then you 
should run the program emacs-23.3\bin\addpm.exe."

I dont know how to run it? And the bin directory in 
"emacs-24.2\bin\addpm.exe" doesnt exist either. How do I get it running?

Many thanks, sorry for my lack of knowledge. I am just a stupid user, 
who doesnt know anything.
regards
Leo
