Benny,

Thanks a lot! These things I didn't know about.

By 'groups' I mean the list of groups returned by the /usr/bin/groups 
command. The list returned when running this from a sub-emacs shell 
didn't match that returned on the Terminal commandline.

I now realise you're not meant to use /usr/bin/open to launch emacs 
from the commandline! Doing it the prescribed way--running 
.../emacs/mac/Emacs.app/Contents/MacOS/Emacs--I DO NOW SEE THE CORRECT 
GROUPS.

Cheers,

Rob (appreciative user of emacs on the mac)
