The people in my group are having a problem with Default directory
and DOCUMENT /BATCH.
If default directory (as set by SET DEFAULT) is a search list
(rather than a single) specific directory, DOCUMENT gets all
confused (in BATCH mode). It comes up with strange directory
names when it reaches the Text Formatting stage.
Even if I am explicit in my command:
DOCUMENT $DISK1:[USER.DOC]foo.sdml S.SPEC POST /CONTENTS /BATCH
it still gets confused. It cannot find the contents file that it
created, etc. If I SET DEFAULT to the specific directory, then
the problems go away.
I will try to include an example of this as a reply to this note.

The problem is not just with /BATCH alone. It shows up in interactive
mode also:
$ SHOW DEFAULT
DOC$:[WATERS]
= WRKD$:[ISS.DOC]
= RESD$:[ISS.DOC]
= MASD$:[ISS.DOC]
$ SHOW LOG DOC$
"DOC$" = "WRKD$:[ISS.DOC]" (LNM$PROCESS_TABLE)
= "RESD$:[ISS.DOC]"
= "MASD$:[ISS.DOC]"
$ SHOW LOG WRKD$
"WRKD$" = "_EDWIN$DUA1:[WATERS.WRKD.]" (LNM$PROCESS_TABLE)
$ DOCUMENT USERA$:[WATERS.WRKD.ISS.DOC]ISS_CONCEPTS.SDML
s.spec LN03 /CONTENTS
%DOC-I-IDENT, VAX DOCUMENT T1.0-008
[ T a g T r a n s l a t i o n ]...
%TAG-I-TAG_IDENT, T1.0-002
...
... (no errors)
...
[ T e x t F o r m a t t i n g ]...
%I, T1.0-005
%E, file not found
%W, no such file
%I, 0 pages written
%I, 'doc$:[waters].DVI_LN03'
%F, access violation, reason mask=04, virtual address=00000000,
PC=08018033, PSL=00000001
and that's what happens...

Thanks very much for thoroughly describing your problem. What seems to
be happening is that TeX is confused by the search list default
directory. In this case it *may* be even more confusing since rooted
directories are involved. I need to study the problem and find out
what you can and can't *currently* do, and what sort of work-around we
can provide. Any additional thoughts are welcome.

Incidentally a similar problem is reported in note 803. I will
post information in both notes when we know what's going on.
