[comp.emacs] startup file under VMS?

pierre@acf8.UUCP (pierre landau) (02/19/88)

A simple question for any GNU hacker running on VMS:

I'm running 18.47, and everything works fine, except for the fact that
I can't write a .emacs file under VMS.  If this is a restriction of
VMS, what is the variable to change in order to specify a new (legal)
VMS filename for the startup file.  If there is a default name already
defined under VMS, what is it?

I have been editing default.el, but as more users here start to use
GNUemacs, we're going to need the individual startup files.

Thanks in advance for any suggestions
