I added these entries to .embossrc, and they then indeed show up when 
I run showdb.

Following the example in the tutorial 
(http://www.hgmp.mrc.ac.uk/Software/EMBOSS/Doc/Tutorial/node11.html), 
I now  run seqret, but get the following error:

Input sequence(s): embl:xlrhodop
Error: Unable to read sequence 'embl:xlrhodop'


Do I need to do something else before I can use seqret (and other programs)?

Is there a place in the docs on how to use/access databases?



thanks again,
