I have logged in at the top level and in the Lafite TTY, but I cannot get my active mailfolder - the previous user''s comes up, though I get my own forms for sending mail, and my name in the Lafite Status Window.'
'
Please help.'

'
Lafite''s default location to look for mail files is specified by the variable LAFITEDEFAULTHOST&DIR, or if that is NIL, then your "home" directory, the value of LOGINHOST/DIR.  Neither of those variables is affected by LOGIN.  You probably want to both LOGIN and then call GREET to load your init file, which is the best place to have those variables defined.'

Thanks for your reply.  Doing LOGIN and GREET for the second time today did not affect the situation.  LAFITEDEFAULTHOST&DIR gave me "{phylum}<ckiparsky>mail>".   When I tried to plug this into LAFITE ''ON it gave me "unbound atom   ckiparsky "!  And "browse" still just brings up Ishikawa''s folder.  '
