Subj: 	Re: using tags
If you have an EXINIT environment variable, add this: 	

	tags=/home/gar/tags

or put an assignment like that in your .exrc file.  Just saying "tags"
would only work if you always execute ex/vi while in your home directory.
In this context, vi does not expand the ~, so you can't successfully do
	
	tags=~gar/tags

... this always fails and you get "no tags file".
