 You are prompted for a file name.  All Calc modes are then reset to
 their default values, then settings from the file you named are loaded
 if this file exists, and this file becomes the one that Calc will
 use in the future for commands like @kbd{m m}.  The default settings
-file name is @file{~/.emacs}.  You can see the current file name by

 giving a blank response to the @kbd{m F} prompt.  See also the
 discussion of the @code{calc-settings-file} variable; @pxref{Installation}.

 Another variable you might want to set is @code{calc-settings-file},
