I'm in emacs an trying to save a file.
It responded with the error msg:
Opening output file: no such file or directory, /site/mit/lens/src/bgardner/rsedit.c
So, I naturally tried an ls, which got me the following
<PINK:/mit/lens/src/bgardner> ls
Makefile foldertP.h rmail_fold.temp test
button_menu.c mh_folder.c rr test.c
core mh_folder.h rsedit test.rul
folder.c mh_folder.o rsedit.c test0.rul
folder.h mh_folderP.h rsedit.c~ test2.rul
folder.o msg.c rsedit.old test_runrules.c
folderP.h msg.h runrules wb
folder_old.c msg.o runrules.c wbsaveccode.c
foldert.c msgP.h runrules.c~ widget-builder.c
foldert.h old_folder.h runrules.doc
foldert.o rmail_fold.c runrules.o
<PINK:/mit/lens/src/bgardner> ls -al rsedit.c
rsedit.c not found
Now, somewhat perplexed, I tried:
<PINK:/mit/lens/src/bgardner> ls rs*
rsedit not found
rsedit.c not found
rsedit.c~ not found
rsedit.old not found
This, I found amusing. I imagine that you will, too.
(Except, of course, for the fact that I can't save my file.)
The background info is:
I have been logged on for about 2 hours. Before that, someone else
was logged on, but didn't do anything weird...though they were
idle for a long time (maybe a day?).
My workstation, I think, is using 60C.

I've had this sort of problem before, and rebooting also usually fixes
it. Unfortunately, I loose all my editing sessions.
(Oh...also, I think this usually happens on my
first attempt to save a file.
