I'm installing POP (from MH6.6) on a Sun3 running SunOS4.0 and getting a "Directory stack empty" message from the POP server immediately on startup. Any ideas?

Any ideas? You are typing popd and getting the internal csh popd command (for shunting the shell's directory stack) instead of the POP daemon popd. You can get round this by invoking the pop daemon by a relative or absolute pathname: i.e. /usr/etc/popd or ./popd. Incidentally, if the popd daemon is connected to a terminal, it prints out the POP dialogue on the terminal; presumably for debugging purposes. If you want popd (the daemon) to work silently, it shouldn't be connected to a terminal. Kick it off from /etc/rc at boot time. Failing that, start it via at(1) or cron(8). However this may have unexpected results with SunOS 4.0 - the versions of at and cron there are fond of mailing you the process's output.
