Having exmh run an attach tcl does not seem to be a good fix. The wish
program has already been started at that point and is looking for
its init file which cannot be found if the tcl locker is not attached.
A quick look at some of the wish binaries for other platforms shows
that they use the full afs path for the tcl locker rather than /mit
path. Can the wish program for the suns be rebuilt so that it uses
the full afs path?
Thanks,
