I know using a screencast to set the PATH variable is over kill. I only really made it to test making screencasts. I thought I'd do this because it was the first thing I needed to set when I used emacs.... For some people it may only take a few seconds to download, and some people may get comfort from watching it being done, if they read some instructions and it did not work for them.... I was really wondering where I could host some for free if I made one with more beneficial content.
