Hi,


I'm not on Win XP, but just wanted to ask for clarification as it might help
others help you...

Can you define what ~ stands for above? For example:
- Linux typically = /home/username/
- Mac typically = /Users/username/
- Win = ???
--- Doing a 'dir ~' from the prompt yielded 'Volume in drive C has no label'
or cd ~ yields 'The system cannot find the path specified'

This might be extremely minute, but the GNU Emacs FAQ includes a trailing
slash in the instructions on how to add directories to one's load path via
.emacs [1]:

(add-to-list 'load-path "/dir/subdir/")


Not sure if that will help you at all. Primarily I'd focus on making sure
../emacs/org[-6.36c] is where you think it is? Not to come across as
insulting... just never hurts to be sure!
