Also, why is the location of "emacs.d" on Windows is primarily controlled by %HOME%, rather than %UserProfile% once again? %HOME% is not a native environment variable on Windows, while %UserProfile% is. Please, let's be consistent across platforms. Regards, Alexander --089e0160b5f4f028910507839e96 Content-Type: text/html; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable
