Has anyone else out there had trouble changing the directories in which
pvm_spawn tasks are executed ($(HOME) by default, or the directory
that it expects the executable code to be spawned ($(HOME)/pvm3/ARCH
by default).  I am stuck using pvm version 3.1.4, which I am sure is
not helping matters at all.

I have tried using the ep=xxxx in my hostfile to change the location
of the executables, but it didn't.  It has been suggested that I try
using the wd= option to change where the code is executed, but I have
been unable to find any reference to that in the documentation.

Any help would be appreciated.
