Yes, it does put it in $HOME, though argually it should go in .local or .cache or something. I'm also OK with the man page not mentioning this, FWIW. > - Is there an environment variable that can specify the > name of the Guile initialization file (default: .guile)? Nope.

See the Info node "(emacs) > Environment" (a subsection of the appendix "Invoking > Emacs"). Would be good to add to Guile as well. Cheers, Andy
