Ah. I hadn't realized that this was done automatically. Good.

I assume that he at least had the sense to eval his .emacs.txt file by hand.
Looking back on it, that was probably a bad assumption; from the nature of his
problems, he's clearly not facile with Windows, let alone Emacs.

Yup. In my reply, I mentioned that he could use _emacs, .emacs, or .emacs.el.
I don't know what his original problem was, that caused him to be unable to
create the file.
Thanks for your work on the JDE!
