A bit more reading (the *info* page called General Variables in 22.1 and 21.3.1) showed that Emacs changed the meaning of HOME between the two versions. In the older one, it seems to default to C:/; in 22.1, it has a different default. In the *info* page "G.4 HOME Directory on MS-Windows," it seems to look for a HOME variable first, and that is already set by cygwin. Since there's no .emacs there, it fails and moves on without loading a .emacs, I presume (if it hadn't found HOME, it would have done what I wanted and checked for .emacs in C:/). Should I give up and move everything into HOME (aka c:/cygwin/home/my name/ -- yes, it has a space :-( ), or is there a way to tell Emacs 22.1 that it should look in C:/ even though HOME is defined by cygwin as a different location?
