Hi! The /etc/joe/joerc file is global for all users, so you probably don't want to make all the user's backups in Kent's directory. I'd advise you to do this changes in /home/kent/.joerc
Now about not being able to create backup files: I tried to set the backup path to ~/something or $HOME/something to no avail. It doesn't seem to get that properly. Still, when I edit .joerc and tell it to use an absolute path ( /home/miquel/.joebackup ) with .joebackup being a 700 directory, it works fine. Hope it helps... Anyone know why I can't usr ~ in the backup path? See you!
