If you're installing emacs on a W98 machine and want to have a .emacs
file, you need a place to put it where emacs will find it.  You need a
HOME directory.  But W98 doesn't have any HOME environmental variable.  
But it's easy to create.  Go to:

Start | Control Panel | Classic Menus | System | Advanced | 
Environmental Variables

This opens a window where you can click on "New" to create either a User 
variable or a System variable.  Your choice.

Being that it's Windows, of course you have to reboot.
