I'm having a problem with VM and using the | command to send a mail message in a folder to the printer. The command I am using is 'xroff' which is and alias for the command 'lpr -Pxroff', which can be found in the file ~/.alias, which is loaded by ~/.cshrc. The pipe command works fine from the main input folder of vm, but whenever I visit another folder and try to print out a message, I get the following error: .alias: No such file or directory lpr: stdin empty input file It looks to me that emacs is comfused about where either my home directory is, what the working directory is or something similar to that. My setup is VM 5.31 Beta, Gnu-emacs 18.57.2 running on ULTRIX 4.2 Otherwise VM runs great! Thanks Kyle! John -- Youth of today!
