- Try setting the environment variable SHELL to the shell of your choice.
- That works on some other programs, it may work for emacs.
- I did not know that csh or tcsh ran on a 3b1? How long have these been
- available? (Not that I would ever in my life wish to subject myself

- Just do the cpio or tar command and direct it to /dev/rfp021 (the floppy).
- That's all that the user agent does. It builds that command and then executes
- it. (Hopefully someone will clue me in if I just told you the wrong thing,
- I'm at work and not sitting at my 3b1.;-(
