There are some oddities/changes in NT Emacs 21.1 which I can figure out

        7. Is there a way to override things such as default font,
           and position globally (e.g. not in the .emacs file) or
           does one have to build and dump .emacs

I use registry settings under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE to specify this, using
the X-style resources, for example:

        

REGEDIT4

        

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\GNU\Emacs]

        

"emacs.font"="-*-Andale
Mono-normal-r-*-*-*-*-80-*-*-*-iso8859-1"

        

"emacs.geometry"="134x54+112+4"

        

"emacs.background"="DarkGrey"

        

"emacs.foreground"="Black"

The above configures the default frame fore- and backgrounds, the font
that the default fontset is built up against, and the initial frame
position.
