Norman,
libraries/ems/ems1Fcerr.c.
Well I could it leave it at that, but I thought the facility files (and
many of the other configuration files, like the graphics ones), are found
in standard locations relative to the directories on the PATH, so in this
case /star/bin/../help (or equivalent) should have done it.
