Many thanks, it works well. (By the way, I get no extra information when
running seqret -debug).

I would like to take the opportunity of this thread for a feature
request:

In the Debian-Med project, we are planning to distribute some small
databases as debian packages. In order to make them easily available to
users, I would like that each package would deposit a small
configuration file in a directory such as /etc/emboss/embossrc.d, and it
would be great if embossrc files could be instructed to "INCLUDE" a whole
directory.

Have a nice day,
