This is a pretty wild guess, because I don't run on a network. Still -
perhaps the networked version recognises ~ as *your* home directory. If
this is the case, you could try having the generic profile.do like
capture do ~/profile.do
if _rc != 601 {
error _rc
}
This might have a chance of running the profile.do file in your home
directory, and not whining if the file doesn't exist.
Just a guess.
