EMACS is awesome, but it's driving my INSANE!

[DArcangelis, Christopher]

I'm running XEmacs v21.1 on a Tru64 v5.1a box.  Whenever I start the GUI, my
home dir is /net/home/cdarcangelis (M-x pwd).  My home is actually mounted
at /home/cdarcangelis.  I can change the current session (M-x cd) but when I
reload my path is /net/home/.......   files.el file shows that ~/ is being
used for my home dir, but my CDPATH and mount-points are correct.  What's
the scoop?

Thanks!
Christopher D'Arcangelis

    directory-abbrev-alist

    Documentation:
    *Alist of abbreviations for file directories.
    A list of elements of the form (FROM . TO), each meaning to replace
    FROM with TO when it appears in a directory name.  This replacement is
    done when setting up the default directory of a newly visited file.
    *Every* FROM string should start with `^'.

    Do not use `~' in the TO strings.
    They should be ordinary absolute directory names.

    Use this feature when you have directories which you normally refer to
    via absolute symbolic links.  Make TO the name of the link, and FROM
    the name it is linked to.

Andreas.

Just a guess, but the directory in /home is actually a link to the one
in /net/home, right?  Could it be that you have set the variable
find-file-visit-truename to 't'?
