Controlling fasl location

[Paul Bowyer]

Hello Max,

Thanks for the lisp code. Now I would like to know where you place this 
code. Is it placed in .emacs or some other place? If it's placed in 
.emacs, is there a particular location there? The reason I ask is that I 
tried placing a defun in .emacs and I couldn't get it to work. Sorry for 
my ignorance...

Sincerely,

Paul Bowyer
