You might try starting Emacs from your shell with: $ emacs -Q - Once it has started, try the command =E2=80=98getenv=E2=80=99 by typing M= -x getenv - Respond to the "Get environment variable: " prompt with PWD If the result is not nil, then it might indicate a problem in your Emacs initialization file (~/.emacs or one of the many variants). If the result is nil, then you could try checking other environment variables or simply display Emacs=E2=80=99s entire list of your environment that it k= nows about by typing C-h v initial-environment None of this shows where the problem is yet, but it could be that there is a problem in your installed Emacs or in some Emacs Lisp code that you are running. You want to try to identify or eliminate one or the other as the source of the problem. >=20=20 > 2.
