I keep mine in C:\emacs but to do this I need the environment variable 
HOME=C:\eamcs. I'm sure you can do the same under linux. If any gurus 
are paying attention, how can I have c:/emacs23/emacs.exe find a 
different .emacs on w32? I used to use batch files for versions 21 and 
22 but that seems too hokey to me now.
