Nikodemus and Christophe,

Thanks so much. Very helpful!

Windows 8 is griping about renaming a file to ".sbclrc". It does not like the file \
not having a name prior to the dot. I'll see if I can rename it using the command \
line. Regardless, sbcl is now working now and finding the init file with the file \
being named "sbclrc". I needed to also set the Start In folder in the Windows 8  \
program shortcut link.

You can also ask SBCL where it is looking for it:
http://sbcl.org/manual/index.html#index-_002auserinit_002dpathname_002dfunction_002a

Eg.

   (funcall sb-ext:*userinit-pathname-function*)

on Windows 8 the result is likely something like

  #P"C:/Users/yourname/AppData/Roaming/.sbclrc"

(And should you want to customize this, save a core with
*userinit-pathname-function* set to your liking.)
