So I'm trying to set up andrew bboards using the methods recently discussed
here, and am having problems.  It seems that the .AMS.flames file is not
getting loaded when CUI starts up - I get the messages

	ELI-PRIMITIVE [READ (error opening file)]
	INTERNAL [eliEvalList (functionless symbol at list car)]

The .AMS.flames file is owned by the user running CUI, and has the
protections -rw-r--r--.  I get these same messages even if everything in the
file is commented out.

When I crank up debugging and execute the "check" command, there is nothing
that indicates that it tried to load .AMS.flames again - it should, right?

Despite the return address, I am not doing this at CMU - I'm doing it on a
Sun 3/280 with SunOS 3.5 and the version of Andrew from the X11R3 tape.

Any ideas?
