This will make uEmacs look in your login directory for the EMACS.RC file. It also looks there for the EMACS.HLP file. You can change the path to what ever directory location you want for the .HLP file. You probably only want one copy of that on the system. Make it public and hardcode the path to it so that everyone can get to it from inside uEmacs. I hope this fixes your problem. ---------------- cut here ---------------- #if VMS { "sys$login:emacs.rc", "sys$login:emacs.hlp", "", "sys$sysdevice:[vmstools]" }; #endif ---------------- cut here ---------------- wpr0986@tntech.bitnet Tennessee Tech University Walter Rowe Cookeville, TN
