You're going to get a lot of these. It's not emacs, its Unix. The basic answer is avoid using $ in file names. the $ character is the variable identifier for Unix shells. You might be able to work around this but It'll always be a pain. Sorry to be so discouraging. You can always preface the $ with a backslash (/) but this gets tedious FAST. Good luck. - Mark ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Mark Lamourine C. S.
