Looks like an interesting project - as they say, probably a lot of it is stuff that really <em>should</em> be rolled into the Windows version of Emacs, but Emacs development isn't exactly a rush job.</p> <p>They've not managed to make it much easier to pick the right download, though - us Windows users just want a big <strong>DOWNLOAD THIS</strong> button at the top of the screen, not a <em>decision</em> to make ;) Looks like it's the "Emacs-22-CvsP060314-EmacsW32-1.00.exe" file most people would probably want.</p> Thanks, Claudine, I’d not heard of that.

I'm sure I remember getting that one myself at some point, but I think I'd been doing something silly by moving files around without backing up, and I can't remember how I got around it in the end.</p> Thanks, Greg.

I don’t think .emacs gets mentioned in the tutorial, but once you’ve got your ‘home’ set up, just C-x C-f to open a file, and enter “~/.emacs” – that sould create it if it’s not already there.

If you don’t create a ‘HOME’ environment variable, watch for the mess Gnu Emacs makes all over the root of C:. XEmacs is a bit tidier – it makes its mess in your user folder under Documents and Settings. Unfortunately, not only does planner-multi need a bit of fixing to work with XEmacs, but Remember does too, and I couldn’t fix that – I’m back with the Gnu.

Yes, I know the answer: “Read the tutorial and the manual!”

Okay, okay, I’ll do it.
