I am running OW2 on a Sparcstation IPC and am using the filemanager.   Under
the tool properties menu I set the default document editor to run Xemacs
(i.e. xemacs $FILE - where $FILE is the OW shorthand for the selected file).
When the Xemacs window opens I am not editting the correct file if I am in
a subdirectory of my home area.   The problem is that as far as emacs is
concerned I am in my home directory.   Does anyone have a fix for this??
