Well, the main things I want to do are: 1) Run stunnel just by typing 'stunnel' 2) Run mutt 3) Add /usr/local/nmh/bin to my path, so I can run the nmh programs, and 4) Add /usr/local/nmh/man to my manpath, so I can get at the man pages. Of these, the only thing I can do now is #2, but all of this used to work on my previous system. > > Since I'm picking on xemacs, I'll use that as an example.

I did this purely to run MH-E. I may do this again, but it's not an issue for now. > Either should work. Depending on your bash settings, you may not need > the"export" above. For details, "man bash"/"info bash". As I mentioned, I'm not a bash expert. I just need to do those few basic things. At some point, I'll figure out why tcsh takes forever to start on my system, and then I'll use that.
