I am having trouble with elm from time to time with the following error.
Can't invoke editor /usr/bin/vi for composition.
This doesn't make sense since it works most of the time and once in a
while it bombs.
Anyone out there having the same problem?
Thanks for your help. Email responses to me and I will post summary.

Found the trouble. /usr/tmp set rwxrwxrwt and elm has s bit set so the tmp file in /usr/tmp was not accessable. something like that. I changed tmpdir to /tmp and it works fine. -- Regards... __ ___ __ |__) |_ ) |__| |\/| {joe@bram.UUCP} Joe Saladino @ |__) | \ | | | | Corporation {verdix!bram!joe} -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- verdix_____________ Home (503) 626-9991 tektronix___percy__\___bram Office (503) 626-2772 reed_______________/ FAX (503) 626-5766
