I have a question about MicroEmacs 3.7i (the one I got from James Turner
which supports the 50-line mode in monchrome). Whenever I invoke emacs.ttp,
the startup file, emacs.rc, is read from the current directory if it exits.
Say I have both emacs.ttp and emacs.rc in directory d:
If I invoke d:\emacs.ttp from path e:, the startup file emacs.rc is never
read. Is there any way to tell MicroEmacs 3.7i to read the startup file
from a particular directory, like say setting an environment variable or
invoking emacs.ttp with some -flag option??
Many thanks in advance for help. I've had this problem for a long while.

To my knowledge, there are no "built in" environment variables in GEMDOS. Under the MWC shell, or Micro-C Shell MicroEMACS can look down the PATH environment, but invoked from the desktop, it has no such option. If you still have source, look in the header file EPATH.H and add the folder you keep your startup file into the list for the atari. If not, make a /bin folder in the root of the disk you are invoking emacs from and put the .rc file there. Also, what may be of use to you, is upgrading to a more recent version of MicroEMACS. Such is available from my BBS system (listed below) [version 3.9i] and it does support the 50 line mode again (set $sres to DENSE).
