Ya I know. I would rather it be global as I'm the only user.
Previously I had tried ~/.joerc but to no avail.

I've been using the full path from the beginning. I have the
permissions to a full 777 for the moment, which I know is stupid, but
changing permissions doesn't work. I've tried 700.

Hey your lucky in my opinion;)
I've got -backpath /home/kent/.joe_bak
in /etc/joe/joerc "-backpath" is flush against the left side.
I've changed directory names, permissions and still it won't work. I've
got two potato boxes and a progeny box that this won't work for me. I'm
using version 2.8. Maybe I'll try compiling my own.
Thanks,
