Fair enough, as it keeps users on 1 machine from trampling on each other. But this seems to mess with gnus in that I don't know all the variables which need to be changed to point to the existing setup. I have 0.6 in c:/gnu/elisp/nognus.6/, my Mail and News in c:/Mail and c:/News. All the other files are currently under c:/ i.e. c:/.gnus.el c:/.newsrc.eld etc. I'm the only user of the system. I thought making a simple redirection for _emacs and .gnus.el would solve the problem. It did partly. one line (load-file "c:/_Emacs") as the _emacs file in the user/app data seemed to sort out the Emacs init file issues at least. What should I do for Gnus? In Emacs 22, it creates the Mail, News and eld file under user app folder while I want it to use the existing one under c:/ regards, Shanks --
