Shouldn't here an apostrophe (') be used?
What is the GNU Emacs manual telling you about a personal initialisation
file under MS Windows?
The manual says ".emacs" although other docs, for Windows emacs, say
"_emacs" will do. So I changed the file to ".emacs" and instead of
pointing save-hist to a file in directory .emacs, changed it to a file
in directory .emacs.d. So here's the relevant portion of my file ~/.emacs:
(require 'savehist)
(setq savehist-file "~/.emacs.d/history")
(setq savehist-length 1000)
(savehist-load)
(setq savehist-mode 1)
I changed the backquote to an apostrophe; changed the directory that's
the target of savehist-file; and as seemed to be suggested by help for
savehist, added the line setting savehist-mode to the positive value 1.
Now how do I USE savehist? This I cannot discern from the documentation.
(Sorry about asking such presumably elementary questions but, despite my
some 30+ years experience with computing, nothing about emacs is clear
or intuitive to me.)
