In short you have to create your own ~/.emacs if you don't have one. Emacs will read then read it at start-up. It's such a plain and simple file, but don't call it ~/.emacs.txt !!! It must be ~/.emacs (or $HOME/.emacs). You can just copy and paste this if you like: sebyte ;; my ~/.emacs ;; ;; elsip (emacs lisp) uses semi-colons for comments (add-to-list 'load-path "/home/jeessy/elisp") ;change according to Windows' ;requirements (autoload 'css-mode "css-mode" "CSS editing mode" t nil) ;"css-mode" corresponds ;to the filename (global-font-lock-mode 1) ;this will ensure syntax highlighting works ;; end of your ~/.emacs ;; ;; very soon this will be two pages long :-)
