Generally, you may want to replace backward slashes with forward ones
when talking with Emacs. However, I believe that Emacs is generally
clever enough to understand what you mean, so I don't think this is what
stops your progress. Still, you may want to replace the text above
with:
(load-file "f:/ldraw-mode.elc")
(global-font-lock-mode t)
(setq ldraw-base-dir "f:/ldraw")

This should be just fine.

I think this is what stops LDraw-mode from loading upon starting up
Emacs. I believe that Emacs searches for the ".emacs" file in C:\ and in
your "home directory", if that concept exists in your OS. I think that
you may want to move the .emacs file from F:\ to C:\.
Before changing anything, though, you can try to see if your Emacs can
load LDraw-mode at all. After starting up Emacs, try to press and
release ESC and then press "X". This should give the prompt "M-x" in
the mini buffer. Emacs is now ready for a command, so type in
"load-file" and press return. You are prompted for a file to load.
Type in the path to the ldraw-mode.elc file: "F:/ldraw-mode.elc" and
press return. Does this work? If so, the problem you had was probably
that Emacs did not scan F:\ for the .emacs file. Moving .emacs to C:\
should fix your problem.
If you have more questions, please don't hestitate to ask.

| Thanks, Fred! That was fast! :-o Putting .emacs in C:\ fixed the problem (I even see the font in colors :-)). Now onto bending a piece of straw/hose from my Mindstorms Vision Command Set!
