Try this: M-x set-variable RET tab-width RET 4 RET > Another thing is the M-x compile. When I type that, the standard command > will be "make -k". Since I'm running windows and using MinGW, I would like > to change the standard to "mingw32-make -k". Can anyone help me do that? It's easier to rename mingw32-make.exe to make.exe. But if you want to keep the original name for some reason that evades me, the variable you want to customize is `compile-command'. Btw, is there any reason you couldn't find all this in the manuals that come with Emacs?
