That's all very well, but my problem is different.  When I try to use
talk under uw, it says "You don't exist.  Go away."  It does this even if
I do "uwtool talk <userid>"; it simply puts up a window for a fraction of
a second with this message in it, and then the window disappears again.
Any clues on _this_ one?

Thanks for any assistance!
