Greetings all - 

I have just started exploring Suns Openwindows and one facility that I like is 
the filemanager.  I have been trying to set the File Manager: Tool Properties
Default Document Editor as  

	Other: 

using the command

	shelltool sh -c "sleep 3;emacs $FILE"

Now if I click on a file in my root directory emacs opens it just fine and I can
continue with my session.  The Problem is if I am in a subdirectory in the 
file manager - then I click on a file to open ..  Emacs puts up a window - 
but it is empty and it says (new file) at the bottom - I know my file is not
empty - 

The other confussing thing is if I replace emacs with vi in the command line
it all works fine..  

Has someone seen this..??  Can you tell me how I might fix it..??  Please be
explicite as I am a novice..  Thanks Much...!!!

Susanne
