I had trouble figuring out that I needed to create a \TMP directory on my
hard drive to avoid fatal "cannot create temp file" errors.  Then I found
that I could initialize from an ELVIS.RC file, but only if it was in the
current directory.  Then I set EXINIT=:so c:\elvis\elvis.rc (which was where
I put the initialization file) and it worked in any directory.

But I still would like to have docs.
