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
file name is @file{~/.calc.el}. 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}.
If the file name you give contains the string @samp{.emacs} anywhere
inside it, @kbd{m F} will not automatically load the new file. This
is because you are presumably switching to your @file{~/.emacs} file,

Another variable you might want to set is @code{calc-settings-file},
which holds the file name in which commands like @kbd{m m} and @kbd{Z P}
store ``permanent'' definitions. The default value for this variable
is @code{"~/.emacs"}. If @code{calc-settings-file} does not contain
@code{".emacs"} as a substring, and if the variable
is @code{"~/.calc.el"}. If @code{calc-settings-file} is not your user
init file (typically @file{~/.emacs}) and if the variable
@code{calc-loaded-settings-file} is @code{nil}, then Calc will
automatically load your settings file (if it exists) the first time
Calc is invoked.
