The only part of this bug report that's really relevant is the "AMS"
error messages at the bottom.  For some reason, when you try to use ~
when specifying the name of a file to open in idraw, it's reading the
file /usr/andrew/etc/AndrewSetup.  I have no idea why.

What were you trying to do?

Just open a file in idraw.

What's wrong:

Well, first when idraw came up and I went to the file menu there were no
files displayed in the pop up box even though I have a ton of them. So I
typed one in anyway and it seemed to open (still no files displayed).
When I tried to open another file by going back to the file menu
the following message was displayed in the box you type the file name:

getwd: read error in ../file.ps

Then I tried typing the path name starting with ~/subdir (with the
tilde) and I got on the xterm I started it on:

Bad Boolean value '0' for 'AMS_NonViceHost' in configuration file; ignored
Bad Boolean value '1' for 'AMS_NonAMSDelivery' in configuration file; ignored
Bad Boolean value '0' for 'AMS_UseWP' in configuration file; ignored

Then I tried typing the full path /mit/karl/... and it worked fine
(still no display of the files in the pop up window however). Beats me
whats going on.

What should have happened:
	No problems.

Please describe any relevant documentation references:
