Re: win octave and emacs

[Guillem Borrell Nogueras]

Sorry, the previous answer was as short as incomplete.

In Windows, Emacs looks for the .emacs file in the folder defined by the HOME 
environment variable.  When this variable is not explicitly defined takes the 
value  "C:\" .  The environment variables are in Control 
Panel->System->Advanced Options.

However I'd suggest you to install the EmacsW32 distribution of emacs instead 
of NTEmacs.  This distribution defines the HOME environment variable at the 
installation. In both cases you must create the .emacs file from scratch.
