System name: portnoy
Type and version: RTPC-ROMPC 7.2R (1 update(s) to same version)
Display type: apa16
What were you trying to do?
run xess on an rt.
What's wrong:
<portnoy> ~% add xess
<portnoy> ~% xess
xess: Command not found.
What should have happened:
Well, okay, it turns out that /mit/xess/rtbin does not exist, so
presumably we don't have it for the RT. (Why?) If seems to me that
since add's "main" purpose (besides attaching the locker) is adding
/mit/xess/$bindir to my PATH, it should report the error.
Well, maybe.
