I take it youu mean the command $LOAD/MSGSRV.EXE interactively?

In order for a newly spawned xterm to know things like the path and
library path, your .tcshrc, .cshrc, .basrc (depending on shell) file
needs to define $AIPS_ROOT and then "source LOGIN.CSH" or ". LOGIN.SH"
(for bash).

Actually this is a curious message - are you using the binary MNJ or
the compile it yourself version?
