[comp.windows.x] Emacs on X

manoj@acsu.buffalo.edu (Manoj Mehta) (02/14/91)

Hi,
I am new to this group and also to X windows

I have a weired problem when i run emacs on x windows
The problem is as follows:

Emacs does not pick up  any file in the working directory
unless i give the entire path with it, even though
the file exists in that dir.It will give me a blank
emacs window and then i ll have to type
^x^f to get the desired file.
eg:
i am in /home/me/dir1/dir2
and there is a file called f2 in that dir.
if i type emacs f2 it will give me a blank window.

One more thing, even if i am in some dir. other then
home dir. , emacs will pick up files
from home dir which are not even present in that 
dir.
eg:
in the  /home/me/dir1/dir2 , if i type emacs .cshrc
(which exists in my home dir.) it will pick it up!!

Does any body habve any idea why this is happening and
what could be the possible cure to it???
Please help, i would really appreciate it.
Thanx in advance
