Hello,

are you sure that there didn't happen anything worse than deleten files
from 'me'?

... means, e.g., that the command tset isn't found. Either because /usr/ucb is
not in your path, or because it doesn't exist any longer as /usr/ucb/tset.

This could be due to a disk error, which would also explain, why the boot isn't
going along; something is missing. And most probably   n o t   only in the
'me'-home-directory.

Have a look into the file /usr/adm/messages - if you can - and see if something
is logged there about a problem and try to verify that you harddisk is
physically intact and that no essential files are missing or unreachable
(as said, you may forget the files from the 'me'-home-directory for now).

Best of luck,
