.erlang file on windows

[Sean Hinde]

I guess you need to get a decent editor for windows which allows you to call
files by the name you give them - I use XEmacs for NT on my laptop.
www.xemacs.org

I'm sure I read somewhere that emacs provides an alternative filename for
its .emacs file for MS machines but I can't find the reference - either way
it would be a friendly thing for Erlang/OTP

Rgds,
Sean
