I have recieved a couple of replys providing a solution. Thanks all! In summary, I was using an old tcsh on the suns, exec'd from a csh. The csh variable PWD retained its old value of my home directory. Emacs looked at this stale variable. Unsetenv'ing it works dandy. Since I also run tcsh on the sequent I mentioned, the shell difference did not even occure to me. In fact, the tcsh on the sequent is newer and does maintain PWD. Thanks again for the help. -- ======================================= = Simon Rademacher = = rademach%tramp@boulder.colorado.edu =
