Are you sure that your emacs.rc file is being read correctly???
My stuff works flawlessly.  F3 is normally bound to finding the next
occurence of a search word.  For sure, make sure the Emacs stuff is
on your path.  Take out the set $sres VGA commands too, that does't
work in the Windows version.  Maybe your emacs.rc file is dying at that
point??
