where is the .emacs file in Snow Leopard? I need it to configure Emacs.

emacs will not create the config file for you. If you wish to make configurations you can create the file manually and start your configuration. You should place it in your home directory.
You could also use M-x customize
to use emacs's inbuilt customization tool. Any changes saved in customize
will be saved in your .emacs
file (a new one will be created if one does't already exist).
It should be in your home directory (~/.emacs
).
If it doesn't exist, you can create it.
To create the tilde (~
), press Option+n followed by a space.

You can use Alt+n to make a tilde or simply use
cd
to get to your home directory, then make the .emacs file.– John TFeb 16, 2010 at 15:43 -
