However, Tramp still tries to apply "test -e", although it's not applicable. This is likely because of cached connection properties (see "~/.emacs.d/tramp"). Could you, please, remove this file before you start Emacs? Or, alternatively, before you're going remote, clear the cache by calling "M-x tramp-cleanup-connection RET /ssh:bob@shell.berkshire.net: RET"? That succeeded! I ran tramp-cleanup-connection. That was the final problem. Now I am able to connect to that machine in a different and more complex fashion. Thank you! -- Robert J.
