Hi!

I just got efs-1.6 today and installed to find:

1)
When I try to dired to my Vax I have problems: it logs me in, but
then in the minibuffer it says:

	Loading efs-vms

and then

	Invalid read syntax: ")"

and returns to the find-file prompt:

	Find-file: /hepva.ph:

When I press TAB again, exactly the same thing happens, ie it
attempts to load efs-vms again and then complains of the ")"
problem.

This appears to an elisp problem: it's probably trivial to fix?

Here's some ftp session output just in case:

----------------------------- vms --------------------------------------
open hepva.ph
Connected to hepva.ph.qmw.ac.uk.
220 hepva FTP Server (Version 3.0) Ready.
ftp> quote user "petersen"
331 Username PETERSEN requires a Password.
ftp> quote pass  Turtle Power!
230 User logged in.
ftp> hash
Hash mark printing on (8192 bytes/hash mark).
ftp> quote pwd
257 DISK$USER:[PETERSEN] is current directory.
ftp> 
----------------------------- end vms ----------------------------------


2) and then I was just looking forward to being able to efs'ing
to my NCSA ftp based PC...... but:

when I try to do so all I get is:

	Logging in as user jens...done

and then the cursor just sits there waiting at the end of `done'
and _nothing_ happens (until I C-g 'd at the end).

Again the ftp buffer looks ok:

--------------------------- ncsa pc ----------------------------------------
open theor01.ph
Connected to theor01.ph.qmw.ac.uk.
220 PC Resident FTP server, ready 
ftp> quote user "jens"

--------------------------- end pc -----------------------------------------
