Your .emacs file is the basic configuration file for Emacs and is kept in your home directory. You can take the tutorial and read the Emacs FAQ under the Help menu which will teach you a lot about Emacs. If you prefer, you can find much of this information on the Web: http://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/emacs.html http://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/emacs-faq.text http://www.emacswiki.org/
