Thanks to all those who responded to my inquiry re ELM filter rules.
My filter rules are now being invoked (and stranger still, they seem to
be working).
It turns out that in order to invoke elm "filter rules", two things
must be done that may not be immediately obvious:
1) the full pathname to the filter program must be given
2) the line in the .forward file which invokes the filter program
must be enclosed in quotes
My ~/.forward file now looks like this:
"| /u3/exptools/bin/filter >>/u7/gregg/.filter_errs"
Thanks again,
Gregg
