Information in these pages is incorrect:In my case .emacs is at "C:\Users\bjorn\AppData\Roaming\.emacs" Emacs does not set the value of the HOME variable to that location: (getenv "HOME")"C:\\Users\\bjorn"And "Within Emacs, <~> at the beginning of a file name is expanded to your HOME directory, so you can always find your .emacs file by typing the command C-x C-f ~/.emacs." is therefore not true:(expand-file-name "~/.emacs")"c:/Users/bjorn/.emacs"--mvh/best regards Björn Lindqvist
