I just downloaded Emacs 21.3 windows for Java development.
What directory do I put the .el files in?
In Emacs, when you hit
C-h v
load-path
where 'C' is your Control key, this shows the paths where Emacs will
find *.el. A good choice would be similar to
C:\Program Files\Emacs21.3\site-lisp\
I have not been able to find a .emacs file in my Emacs directory.
Unless you are running w9x (use autoexec.bat instead) you should set
your %HOME% environment variable using the system->advanced control panel.
You then create a new .emacs or _emacs file there.
You might wish to take a look at http://emacro.sf.net/ my project for
new Emacs users. It has nice links to JDEE and EmacsWiki.org which
provide many answers.
