Pls help in emacs settings for Foreground and Background color settings

[Senthil Nathan]

Hi,

I am new to this editor. The version of my Emacs is " GNU Emacs 21.3.1 
(i386-mingw-nt 5.1.2600) of 2004-03-11 on NYAUMO".

For Linux machines the settings for the foregroung  and backgroun 
colours are specified in .emacs file. I am using Windows machine and I 
cant fine .emacs file in my installation directory or at any other places.

Can you please provide me a sample .emacs file that suits to me. I need 
to change the default Background color of White to some dark colours 
that won't irritates my eyes.

I am awaiting for your response.

Thanks in advence.

Regards
