Lines: 14 It's not mlisp, it's in the C code. In fact, the ~/ lookup does not look in the password file at all. The user's home directory is based on the settings of the environment variables HOME and LOGDIR. Quick fix, set and export your HOME variable. There are only two places that UniPress EMACS can get confused by yellow pages (places where it wants to look at the passwd file). The first is for expanding the name ~user rather than ~/. The other is for the results of the function "users-full-name." I've forwarded this problem along to mg, if you believe that you really have a problem with the latter, then you should call UniPress on (201) 985-8000. -Ron
