Emacs setup

I have never used emacs before.
I have a windows box.
Can anyone point me at some kind of tutorial for setting up emacs with
all
the nifty Rails tools you can get for it?

Thanks.

Ok here is my .emacs file:

(setq load-path
(append (list nil “~/lisp/”
“~/lisp/arorem/”
“~/lisp/custom/”
“~/lisp/nxml_mode/”
“~/lisp/rinari/”
“~/lisp/rinari/rhtml”
“~/lisp/icicles”
“~/lisp/shared/”)
load-path))

;; here let’s load everything in proper order here
(load “setup.el”)
(load “01bm.el”)
(load “02ruby_mode.el”)
(load “03rails.el”)
(load “04nxml.el”)
(load “05ido.el”)
;;(load “07vm.el”)
(load “08fri.el”)
(load “09org.el”)
(load “10sql.el”)
(load “11erlang.el”)
(load “12rd.el”)
(load “13rcode.el”)
(load “last.el”)
(load “my_snippets.el”)

(custom-set-faces
;; custom-set-faces was added by Custom.
;; If you edit it by hand, you could mess it up, so be careful.
;; Your init file should contain only one such instance.
;; If there is more than one, they won’t work right.
'(bm-persistent-face ((((class color) (background light))
(:background “MistyRose” :foreground “Black”))))
'(font-lock-comment-face ((((class color) (min-colors 88) (background
light)) (:foreground “grey64” :slant italic :family
“--helvetica-medium----12-------*”)))))
(custom-set-variables
;; custom-set-variables was added by Custom.
;; If you edit it by hand, you could mess it up, so be careful.
;; Your init file should contain only one such instance.
;; If there is more than one, they won’t work right.
)

And You can download ready to run/work lisp files from
http://syncnotes.googlecode.com/files/lisp.tar.bz2

The caveats are, I have obviously customized emacs, to suit my taste
of key bindings, and hence for me Control-W is backward word delete,
and region kill is C-X,C-K

Other set of shortcuts are basically inspired from here:

Unzip the archive and put it under directory ~/lisp . If you in home,
it would automatically create that directory for you.

lisp
|
|---- rinari
|---- xxxx

And put the above .emacs file in your home directory and restart your
emacs. For using above packages, you must be running > Emacs 22

Snippets, ruby debugging, control/view/testcase switching, console,
irb, and many other things should work out of the box.

All the best
