Hi.
I'm new to wml and enjoying learning it. I have been stuck for a while
on this issue, so I decided to email the group.
I'm using RH9, and wml 2.0.9

I have a file /var/www/html/hello1.wml
which, when I do 
 hello1.wml
and no .wmlrc exists anywhere, it creates
hello1.html and all is fine.

If however, I put .wmlrc in /var/www/html and do
 hello1.wml
I get:
** WML:Error: options can not be correctly parsed
** WMK:Error: Unable to close exec /usr/local/bin/wml -n -MM:

This is true with the simplest of examples:
hello1.wml is:
-------
<html>
<head>
<title>WML hello1.wml</title>
</head>
<body bgcolor=#ffffff>
hello, world!
</body>
</html>
---------
And /var/www/html/.wmlrc is:
----
-DVARIABLE="variable"
-----

Thanks for your help,
-Confused (Ezra)
