Hi,

As I mentioned elsewhere I've been playing with Lisp and I thought I'd
have a crack at getting Slime (an Emacs extension/add on for Lisp) and
in setting it up I notice it asks for mods to be made to .emacs which
I expected to find in my home directory (I've played with Emac
recently) only to discover .emacs.d directory which I presume is some
modern repository for all things emacsy. Do I create a .emacs file in
here or just in my home directory?
As others have said, you *can* create a .emacs file in your home
directory, which overrides the .emacs.d contents, but the recommended
practice is to create .emacs.d/init.el, and put anything you would put
in .emacs in there instead.
Your customizations (from customize-group/customize-variable) end up in
.emacs.d/custom.el rather than cluttering your .emacs file.
Cheers,
Anthony
