1) Find file: C:\emacs-21.3\bin/, I want to see my HOME directory
instead.
If you are invoking Emacs from a desktop shortcut, set the starting
directory via the Property sheets of that shortcut.
2) not able to visit .c:\path-to-file\.emacs.
Type "C-x C-f ~/.emacs RET". This should work. The error message
about aspell means that somehow you start the speller for Lisp files,
which is the reason for your apparent inability to visit .emacs.
You need to solve that problem first.
the only other reference to spell in my .emacs is
(add-hook 'text-mode-hook 'flyspell-mode t) ; check spelling
now how could I solve the problem with the speller starting for Lisp files.
I really don't know how can it be since the same .emacs file is being used
for my Linux box and works fine. this problem happened after I installed
aspell under cygwin. does this help.
thanks
