I recently compiled Microemacs 3.9e on our VMS system so that I could use
the same editor no matter which system I'm on.  Everything works great,
except it only seems to find its emacs.rc file when it's in the current
directory.  I've tried putting it in my default login directory, and even
tried assigning a logical name to it (ASSIGN SYS$LOGIN:EMACS.RC EMACS.RC),
all to no avail.

Any suggestions?  Without it I only get 24 out of 32 lines on my TEK terminal,
and I miss my cursor and function key bindings!

              Not looking forward to returning to TPU,
