Hi there!

People, i'm a new unix user, and i'm having some problems...
I'm updating some scripts (korn shell) in different servers. I use telnet to access these servers and emacs to write the scripts. One of them is an HP, and there�s no problem. But the other one is an AIX, and when i call <emacs> i get the answer:

ksh: emacs: not found

i guess it�s something with the path..... what do i have to do to find the directory that contains emacs and add it to the path???

tks!!

try: whereis emacs

If that doesnt work, and you are desperate, try:
cd /usr ; find . -name emacs

To search for it in the /usr filesystem

If you still can't find it, you should learn vi. (You should do this anyway

)
