Re: .emacs file, where?

what do you mean with:
the path "~/.emacs" ?c:/Users/saftarn/AppData/Roaming/ ?

thats what i get when i ask where $home is.

so should i have a file c:/Users/saftarn/AppData/Roaming/.emacs
exactly like that?
in Roaming I have a folder ".emacs.d", it shouldnt be placed in there?

Hit C-x - C-f and then enter the path "~/.emacs" then you're in
the
right location (C-x C-s to save). The file doesn't exist in a fresh
Emacs install, it has to be created in your Home-Directory.

Have fun with Emacs

Yes, '~' ist the short version for your home directory.
The long path is: c:/Users/saftarn/AppData/Roaming/.emacs

Re: .emacs file, where?

ok i get an error after copying exaclty what is on this link:
http://www.erlang.org/doc/apps/tools/erlang_mode_chapter.html

is there anysignificance to this:
`c:/Users/saftarn/AppData/Roaming/.emacs': the backquote and then normal one.
i use " " just like in the example(just copied it obv).

and how do i start with --debug-init?

("C:\\emacs-22.2\\bin\\emacs.exe")
Loading encoded-kb...done

An error has occurred while loading `c:/Users/saftarn/AppData/Roaming/.emacs':

File error: Cannot open load file, erlang-start

To ensure normal operation, you should investigate and remove the
cause of the error in your initialization file. Start Emacs with
the `--debug-init' option to view a complete error backtrace.

For information about GNU Emacs and the GNU system, type C-h C-a.
