E.g. when I'm in my home directory and type epoch test, I start by editing a file test in some other directory (for which I don't necessarily hav   e write permission). is there some hidden configuration file or something that   controls this?

Some time ago, I got the epoch-rios release for the 6000 under aix, and found
several bugs in it.  I made many fixes to this release, and have been running
Epoch successfully on my 6000 for about nine months.

I am more than willing to make my changes available (as diffs from Epoch
3.2 patchlevel 2), but unfortunately we don't support anonymous ftp here.
Ideally, I would like the Epoch maintainers to incorporate the changes and
make them available that way, but in the meantime I will be happy to mail
them to anyone interested.
