Thanks Darryl, this is the right change. If NT sets the evniromanet,
why do not use it?
Btw, do these variables exist on '95?

I do not think so. I think that XEmacs must generate warnings like "Cannot
determine home directory" or such. Otherwise, if things go silently,
it is 1) terrible mess having C:/.xemacs/* stuff 2) unobvious place
to put .emacs in. ("Wherever I put .emacs, XEmacs ignores it". Personally,
I would try C:\ *after* anything else, if tried at all...)

Please do! :)
