Perhaps I do not fully understand the problem.  Suppose the jed root
directory is located in C:\apps\jed and you have a directory called
C:\home.  Then you can create a file called C:\home\jed.rc and set the
enviroment variable JED_HOME equal to C:\home.  Running jed with this
setup will cause it to load C:\home\jed.rc instead of
C:\apps\jed\lib\jed.rc.  In other words, you can put all your
customization in C:\home\jed.rc and you do not need to deal with
C:\apps\jed\lib\defaults.sl at all.  If you do not want to create a
JED_HOME (or HOME) environment variable, then you can create
C:\apps\jed\lib\defaults.sl with the single line:

   Default_Jedrc_Startup_File = "C:\\home\\jed.rc";

which will give you the same effect.

Does this sound like a reasonable solution?
