Jason, After rereading the information in the G.4 HOME Directory on MS-Windows Info node I see that I overlooked a crucial piece of information. It says to type `C-x d ~/ <RET>' to see a list of the files in the home directory, for some reason my mind just glossed over the crucial '~/'. Sorry for causing any uproar. __ J_) C_)ingham

AFAIK it is not and has never been true on any platform. ____________________________________________________________ $350,000 Life Insurance Coverage as low as $13.04/month.
