It may be a bit dangerous to use the environment variable $PWD.  That
changes value every time you go to another directory.  Thus, AIPS
knows the value when you start it, but is you CTRL-Z and change 
directory
the outside will know a different $PWD.

Try this
    exit AIPS entirely
    cd to the directory containing your data
    export MYAREA=`pwd`   (in bash or)
    setenv MYAREA `pwd`   (in csh - note back tics)
    start aips
    datain = 'MYAREA:....
    tphead                 (checks datain

it appears that you have defined "aips" to be "aips tv=local" from
the login messages.

The failure to find the file is not a false message - for some reason
the file as specified is not there.  Note that I have also had this
issue a few times and always I had some sort of error.
