708.0. "Fileview comes up without entries in menu bar" by WEA::PURMAL (I'm the ASP) Mon May 01 1989 14:15

         When I create a Fileview window I get a pop-up menu that says
    "The default directory is not a valid VMS directory specification.
     There is an unrecognized character" with an acknowledge box."
    
         The Fileview window come up without anything in the menu strip
    and therefore I can't access anything other than terminal windows.

    Hi Andy,
    
         The only part I can see is "DISK$USER1:[PURMAL]".  When I do
    an apply it works just fine.

        I deleted V???.VUE$DAT to get rid of the bad directory
    specification and that made Fileview work properly.
    
        It would be nice if FileView started properly even if the directory
    specification was bad.
