I guess you're talking about sgml-show-context?
Does c:/sgml exist?  If yes: Is it a file or a directory?
What's your doctype declaration?
What does C-h v sgml-catalog-files say?
Do you have an environment variable SGML_CATALOG_FILES?
What do you have in your *Messages* buffer?

I'd guess that either the SYSTEM identifier of your doctype or at
least one of the files in sgml-catalog-files, or one of the files
referred to in your sgml-catalog-files, or one of the directories
where the files are, contains either a space (after 'c:\sgml') or a
backslash.  Or maybe you fall victim to the default value of
sgml-ecat-files of ("ECAT" "~/sgml/ECAT" "/usr/local/lib/sgml/ECAT"):
"~/sgml/ECAT" looks pretty much like "C:/sgml/ECAT".

Yes.

Does exist, it is a directory containing a SGML Open style entity catalog
file + a subdirectory called dtd containg directories with dtd files.

sgml-catalog-files's value is ("c:/SGML")

Documentation:> *List of catalog entry files. The files are in the format
defined in the SGML Open Draft Technical Resolution on Entity Management.
Defined in `psgml'.

Yes. SGML_CATALOG_FILES is set to: c:\SGML

>What do you have in your *Messages* buffer?
Opening input file: permission denied, c:/SGML

Maybe, but not as I can see.

C-h v sgml-ecat-files show the above. ~/sgml/ECAT and c:/sgml/ECAT is the
same.

I'm not sure if I understand the problem with ECAT correctlty, but I also
tried moving the content of C:\sgml to C:\sgml\ecat, and updated
SGML-CATALOG-FILES variable. But with the same result.

Thanks.

Hope you or someone else have some ideas of how to fix this.

So here's the culprit.

sgml-catalog-files is supposed to contain a list of catalog files and
not a directory.

Set it to the file name of your SGML catalog.  sgml-catalog-files is
initialized from this value.
