Hmm, two things:

1.  Having the symbol MMS defined to MMK is a mistake.

2.  There have been a few changes since the last ZIP of the snapshot
    tree.  I've made a new one:  EMACS-19_28-SNAPSHOT-19970501.ZIP.

It is?  Then what is the correct way to avoid this error? (see next 3 lines
extracted from original)

Great! I'll try that tomorrow.  Thanks

For once, I'm not exactly sure why, but it seems that configure.com
thought that among MMK, GMAKE and MMS (checked in exactly that order),
you only have MMS.  It checks what you have by trying to execute the
command.  It apparently didn't find MMK, it didn't find GMAKE, but it
found MMS...  Which apparently doesn't exist.  You should check if you
have the symbols MMK or MMS defined to something weird...  Please tell
me what you find...

Thats it!  In my zeal to create a "clean" environment for CONFIGURE I had
gotten rid of ALL Process level 
symbols, MMK and MMS (and GMAKE) are NOT defined in my group or system
tables, so CONFIGURE
just did the best it could and defaulted to MMS.  When I used
MMK/ignore=warning that got me through the 
first DESCRIPT.MMS file but the next on down the line used the default,
MMS.  

When you run configure and your "make" is not MMS be sure that a symble is
defined for what ever you use!

Thanks,
