Hi Manish, Thanks for the tip on loading the .emacs using M-x load-file (ENTER), after that I type "c:/emacs/.emacs" and the agenda command worked. With regards to the environmental settings - we're doing it the same place - see attached screenshot. With regards to my .emacs, its very empty - I attached it as well... I just created the .emacs file myself. Is there supposed to be something inside .emacs by default? How do you think I should make the .emacs load by itself?
