No. Message buffer out put is at the end of this message.
Again, the thing that puzzles me is that (setq default-directory "h:")
works in Emacs-22.1, but not in 22.3. I guess I'll just use 22.3 and
change directory manually ...
And I should clarify one thing, based on what Eli wrote. "h:" is
*not* my HOME, HOME is identified correctly as c:/Documents and
Settings/mheller:. "h:" is where all my data are stored, that's why I
would like it to be the place that C-x C-f takes me to. Sorry if I
caused confusion ...
Thanks anyway!
Markus
PS: Content of *messages* after replacing (setq default-directory
"h:") with (cd "h:")
("C:\\Program Files\\emacs-22.3\\bin\\emacs.exe")
Loading encoded-kb...done
Loading c:/Program Files/emacs-22.3/site-lisp/tex-site.el (source)...done
An error has occurred while loading `c:/Documents and Settings/mheller/_emacs':
error: No such directory found via CDPATH environment variable
To ensure normal operation, you should investigate and remove the
cause of the error in your initialization file. Start Emacs with
the `--debug-init' option to view a complete error backtrace.
