I have a couple of (I hope) simple problems using (Win32) EMACS ange-ftp support with Zope: 1) I want to use the '(setq efs-make-backup-files nil)' trick that's been mentioned previously, but being a total EMACS neophyte, I'm not sure what directory to put the '.emacs' file in. Can someone loan me a clue? 2) If I use ange-ftp to access a Zope folder, I get a nice 'dired' listing. But when I select a DTML document/method to edit, I get another 'dired' listing containing just the selected file. If I select the file again from the new 'dired' list, I finally get the document I wanted, but the name is listed twice in the path: once as a directory, and again as the filename. Needless to say, this prevents me from saving the file (even if I chop off the extra filename, I still get errors saving the file). Anyone have any idea why this might be happening? Thanks, Dave Morrill
Just a follow-up to my problems: 1) Seems like 'ange-ftp-make-backup-files' is defaulted to 'nil' in the Win32 version of EMACS. So you're ready to rock right out of the box. 2) The mysterious behavior disappeared overnight. Tried it again this morning and it worked OK (sound of head being scratched). Dave Morrill

I realise this is about a month late, but I'm catching up on the Zope list bit by bit!
being a total EMACS neophyte, I'm not sure what directory to put the '.emacs' file in.
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.
