I recall seeing a similar message on some otehr systems too. The /etc/termcap file seems to be there alright, and the permissions look ok. I tried linking a copy of the termcap file to all kinds of /etc subdirectories that I thought emacs may like, but that doesnt seem to help. Anyone know whats goin' on? Thanks. - Vijay ------- vijay@cssun.albany.edu vijay@albanycs.albany.edu -------
