To create a .emacs file, simply start editing one. For example by:
C-x C-f ~/.emacs
If you do:
C-h v load-path
it will show you the path emacs searches when it looks for files.
There are bound to be a whole lot of directories in them. Just put
your files in one of them. Alternatively, if you want to add a
directory to the load-path, add the following to your .emacs file:
(add-to-list 'load-path "/sw/share/emacs/site-lisp" t)
Where /sw/share/emacs/site-lisp is the name of the directory you want
to add to the load-path.
By the way, if you are new to emacs, it wouldn't do no harm to read
the tutorial which you can access via the 'help' menu, or via C-h t
(That is control-h t)
I never could get point-and-click to work on Mac OS X 10.3.n, not even
when using X11 and xdvi and emacs via X11, so if it works for you I'd
be delighted to know.
Hope this helps,

might anyone have any hints on how to get the emacs lilypond-mode to
work on macos 10.3.9?
i have been using jEdit very happily up to now, but the
point-and-click function doesn't seem to be compatible with the two
versions i have (2.5.23 and 2.5.0). it returns a bean shell error
when i try to "enable point-and-click" and selecting "view output
dvi" gives me an empty jDvi viewer.
the documentation for the new pdf hyperlink point-and-click addresses
emacs and vim, so i thought i'd try emacs.
the installation documentation for lilypond-mode in emacs doesn't
refer specifically to macos 10.x and i can't figure out where to put
the .el files. i can find no .emacs file, and no matter which
combination of where i place the lilypond-init.el and other .el files
into the various /site-start and /site-lips folders i've found, when
i start emacs and perform an M-x, i am offered no option for
lilypond-mode. (i assume this is the correct procedure, since i can
successfully select latex-mode this way and it functions fine).
i have made long attempts with the fink installation of emacs,
XEmacs, enhanced carbon emacs, and emacs for aqua, but just ain't
gettin' it.
i have installed firefox and Xpdf, as the documentation instructs,
and modified the xpdfrc and prefs.js files. all three of my PDF
viewers successfully identify the hyperlinks (Xpdf, Preview, and
Acrobat Reader), but clicking on them does nothing.
thanks in advance for any clues.
best,
sean
