You can put .el files (Emacs Lisp libraries) anywhere you'd like, as long as that directory is in your load-path (C-h v). If you have write permission in the version-independent site-lisp directory, that's the conventional place to put them; otherwise, create a subdirectory in your home directory for personal add-ons. Read the Lisp Libraries node of the Emacs manual, and the Byte Compilation node of the Emacs Lisp manual that it references. > Can you do more in vm than rmail?

Since VM isn't part of Emacs, you should post a more specific question on gnu.emacs.vm.info -- Kevin Rodgers
