<sigh>

I don't either. But now when I try it, it works.

I have gotten as far as getting DejaGnu to run the .exp file with my
test in it. But the test doesn't appear to register. In
parse/testsuite/parse.proto/parse.exp, I have (copied from the manual):

        set test "Local Hello World"
        send "echo Hello World"
        expect {
           -re "Hello World"  { pass "$test" }
        }

When "make check" gets to this, I get

 to file list

Why am I seeing the "echo Hello World", but no indication that there was
an actual test?

Thanks for your help...
