I did the M-x, got the make-k prompt and put in the file name but get an error message-'Bad Command or Filename'. I am not very familiar with UNIX and makefile, I would just like to do some codework for now. Any help or direction would be greatly appreciated. Make sure the directory where you have make.exe is included in your PATH variable.
