I realise this is about a month late, but I'm catching up on the Zope list
bit by bit!

Wherever the HOME environment variable points to. On my Win95 machine, I
have

  set HOME=c:/document

in the autoexec.bat file, and I place my .emacs file into that directory.
Yes, that's a forward slash, I can't remember if it's emacs or some other
Unix-on-Windows thing that needs it that way but it works.

Note: on NTEmacs the file is actually named _emacs instead of .emacs.

Julian.
