I have been trying to get GNU-emacs to run TEX for me at this site
using the tex-mode.el file method.  I get 2 errors however I run it:
using a Sun (running openwindows) as a terminal to a Solbourne or
using a terminal connected to the Solbourne through a digital switch.
the errors are:
1. /dev/ttypa: not owner (the tty number varies, but it is not the one
I am logged in on).
2. type emacs unknown.

I think the problems are (partially at least due to shell.el.  What
are the environmental variables ESHELL and SHELL supposed to be?  I
can't figure out what is expected.

I would be grateful for any enlightenment about this.
