[Zope] Problem using EMACS FTP to Zope

I have a couple of (I hope) simple problems using (Win32) EMACS ange-ftp
support with Zope:

1) I want to use the '(setq efs-make-backup-files nil)' trick that's been
mentioned previously, but being a total EMACS neophyte, I'm not sure what
directory to put the '.emacs' file in. Can someone loan me a clue?

2) If I use ange-ftp to access a Zope folder, I get a nice 'dired' listing.
But when I select a DTML document/method to edit, I get another 'dired'
listing containing just the selected file. If I select the file again from
the new 'dired' list, I finally get the document I wanted, but the name is
listed twice in the path: once as a directory, and again as the filename.
Needless to say, this prevents me from saving the file (even if I chop off
the extra filename, I still get errors saving the file). Anyone have any
idea why this might be happening?

Thanks,
