I believe it was a version of emacs that came with mac ports. I moved  
the entire directory into which mac ports seems to have been  
installed, /opt/local to another location. Then I created an alias  
from "emacs" to the Carbon Emacs that I still had in my Application  
folder. Now this part works again. However Mac Ports has also tinkered  
with

1) my fortran preprocessor fpp (for example, I'm getting error  
messages like this

"ifort: error: Fatal error in /opt/intel/fc/9.1.027/bin/fpp,  
terminated by segmentation violation"

when attempting to compile a program with .F suffix instead of .f  
suffix.

and

2) with my installation of gnuplot. I used to be able to automatically  
expand filenames by typing tab, just as in the normal shell.
I don't know how to fix these problems, and couldn't find any  
information on the web.

No .profile was created, and I don't see any new paths in other  
configuration files.

No, I just followed the default and installed it into /opt/local
