In emacs, I am trying to use the merge utility as follows:
M-x emerge-files
and thereafter entring the file names present in my default directory. But 
when emerge calls for "diff" utility it displays the following error: 

Errors found in diff/diff3 output.
%DIFF-F-OPENIN, error opening HCL_NISN_DEV:\[RI.V190-0200.SRC.TEST]FIRST.C 
as input-RMS-F-SYN, file specification syntax error

The problem as seems to me is the path emerge is sending to the diff 
utility: it should be 
HCL_NISN_DEV:[RI.V190-0200.SRC.TEST]FIRST.C

But it's sending:
HCL_NISN_DEV:\[RI.V190-0200.SRC.TEST]FIRST.C

Kindly help me sort out this issue.

Regards
Akhil
