Hello John,

I'm sorry I was in a hurry to go home and tried to read my mail before 
that. I did not make myself clear. I just clicked on the link in the 
message to take a peek at the .matplotlibrc file and found that "On 
windows, this would be, for example, C:\Python23\share\matplotlib." That 
led me to wonder whether HOME will take effect in windows installation.

I had not updated matplotlib for a while and I know it has seen big 
improvements. I've now downloaded version 0.52 and I can see now when 
HOME is set, matplotlib will first read the config file there.

Perhaps the comments in the original .matplotlibrc can be altered to 
make this clear. It's a really a very good idea to be able to set 
everything using just one config file.

I'm sure the people on the list will agree that matplotlib is a great 
piece of work and you have been wonderful in answering questions.

Good day,
ST
