System name:		tabetha
Type and version:	CVAXSTAR 7.2R
Display type:		SM

What were you trying to do?
	Test adding a meeting.  I setenv MEETINGS to /tmp/.m and
	ran discuss expecting it to do the standard new user
	stuff.

What's wrong:
	Here's what happened:

tabetha<40>% discuss
discuss: No such file or directory

If you are using discuss for the first time, or if you have only used the
experimental version of discuss, you need to run the 'dsc_setup'
command from the shell.

Run dsc_setup now? (y or n)  y

Running dsc_setup...
  You appear to have a .meetings file; you don't need to run this.
discuss: No such file or directory

That didn't seem to work; try again? (y or n) ^C


What should have happened:
	It should not ever look in ~/.meetings or check for the
	existance of the file when the MEETINGS environment
	variable is set.  No hardcoded pathnames, please...

Please describe any relevant documentation references:
	Discuss isn't documented.
