I changed the reference from juliarc to .julia/config/startup.jl. I also added "To do this, add e.g. the following line of code", in case the previous formulation "by setting an enviroment variable" could be less-than-clear for less tech-savy users. I decided however to keep the previous formulation for techincal correctness, opting for a little more verbose but fitting for a wider audience. A have also added the parenthesis "(if the file does not exist, create it)" because I know that me and others have googled something related to that file not existing, and that this parenthesis is a good way to short-circuit that confusion. A non-trivial amount of the confusion around the startup-file probably stems from exactly this tip, due to the prevalence of Plots.jl. I have also added "for example" in the next tip for complete clarity. Together with the previous tip, I think anyone should be able to figure it out both tips completely, and without uncertainty like "Will this work? Am I doing it right?".
