The typical thing, I think, would be to put it in z:\\site-lisp and then add a line like this to your .emacs: (add-to-list 'load-path "z:/site-lisp") Which adds that directory to the list of places Emacs will look for Lisp libraries. You can use whatever directory you like, provided you have an appropriate (add-to-list 'load-path ...) in your .emacs before the library in question is required. -- john
