2337.0. "Fileview problem with NOTEPAD/MAIL together" by BOSTON::MCDONALD () Thu Feb 22 1990 14:02

    I am having a problem when I open NOTEPAD and MAIL from a FILEVIEW
    menu. 
     
    If I open a notepad, edit it, then exit and save to a file
    it works fine.  
    
    If mail is running along with notepad, when I exit the 
    edited notepad and try to save it to a file I get the error "NO
    PERMISSION TO WRITE TO THIS FILE", I have checked the
    protection/ownership of the directories.  Everything looks fine.  This
    only happens in an unpriv'ed environment.
    
    
    When I try to create/send mail from a fileview menu, nothing happens,
    yet, if I "SHOW OUTPUT" from the work in progress menu, I get a stack
    dump??
    
    Both of these problems only occur when running from a fileview menu, if
    I start them up from a DECterm window they run fine....
    
    I am running V5.3 of VMS.
    
    Can anyone shed some light????
    
    Thanks  much

	It might be a quota problem, specifically the open file limit.
	Try increasing FILLM.
