I am not able to bring up the MAS client, magc.
I'm new to this; I've not ever been able to successfully
bring up the client.

Steps:
1. installed mas-1.6.5-1.i386.rpm images on Mandrake 9.1

2. Used the script in the Release Notes to set up the .mas directory structure in my own $HOME dir.

3. Added the environmental variables to my ~/.bash_profile:
export MAS_MAILER=<whatever>
export MAS_DIRECTORY=~/.mas
export MAS_STOCK_SPLIT_FILE=NOT_USED
export MAS_MAILER_SUBJECT_FLAG=s

4. Brought up the MAS server (as myself, not superuser)
    mas -o -f , *.txt -b 13579 &

5. Tried to bring up the MAS graphical client,
    magc localhost 13579 -s ibm

Fatal error: Symbol IBM not in database
Exiting ...

ibm is in the symbol table.

Thanks for any help, Mike
