I would like to configure emacs so that I get text-mode and auto-fill-mode as defaults. The O'Reilly book on emacs (excellent as usual) instructs me how to do this by adding a few commands to the end of the .emacs file to be found in the user's directory.
There is no such file in my user directory. (I'm using slink.) Should I create one containing just those commands? Is this .emacs file located elsewhere in slink? I poked around, but could not find it. Thanks Dave
