Doh! I botched one step of the install process for the shell
and utils (the TMP env variable wasn't pointing to a directory
that actually existed). That was causing a whole bunch of odd
and apparently unrelated failures -- that's fixed...
After starting up emacs in c:/fdos/emacs a couple times, it's
now working (not sure why that didn't work for the first
install).
I sure whish I hadn't thrown out my copy of MKS toolkit years
ago -- though I don't know if I even have a 5-1/4 floppy drive
anywhere (or if those ~20 year old floppies would still be
readable).
The free ksh/utils (the ones from Ian Stewartson) seem to be
working OK now.
