Summary: Can't read ".emacs" file

Initial Comment:
Running clisp-2.25.1 on Win2000

I've been working on a "kind of" version control but
to my surprise I can't open my .emacs file for read.


[1]> (setq stFile 
       (open "D:\Home\.emacs" :direction :input))

*** - no file name given: #P"D:\Home\.emacs"

Trying to understand the problem I find that:

1. Break [2]> (pathname-type 
                (pathname "D:\Home\.emacs"))
"emacs"

1. Break [2]> (pathname-directory 
                (pathname "D:\Home\.emacs"))
(:ABSOLUTE "Home")

1. Break [2]> (pathname-name  
                (pathname "D:\Home\.emacs"))

NIL

Nil?? Since the file exists it MUST have a name.
IMHO the best return value should be:

(pathname-name (pathname "D:\Home\.emacs"))
-> ""


Thank for your time
