I seem to remember reading someone else reporting this problem
several months ago...

I compiled Epoch4.0p2 on an HP730 with no problems. Everything
seems to work just fine, except when starting up epoch with
a filename argument. If I "cd" to a subdirectory below my HOME
directory, and start epoch with a filename argument (which exists
in that subdirectory), epoch comes up with a blank buffer saying
that <filename> is NEW. What gives? If I use find-file, it loads
fine. Also, when the new buffer is created, the find-file
directory prompt in the minibuffer starts at the HOME path, not
the subdirectory path epoch was started from.

This behavior happens in epoch AND the ascii-version of epoch.

Does Epoch/Emacs use an environment variable or something to 
load files? I've never seen this happen on any other machine
type.
