I was trying to set up some keyboard re-mappings for version 17.VMS4 of
GNUEMACS on our VMS system.  I read the instructions and created a file
named sys$login:.emacs with the appropriate lisp code in it.  It never gets
loaded.  If I load the file manually it works fine except that even when my
default directory is sys$login I still have to specify the whole name.  
Can someone help me with this
probably trivial problem?
