	It's a little more complicated then this (as usual), because the
system-gschemrc is being loaded, but the system-gafrc (which is loaded
from within system-gschemrc) isn't found.   Certainly a check is needed.
Maybe after all the rc files are loaded then check for the existance of
font-directory or scheme-directory and make sure these scheme variables
exist.	If not, exit with an error message.
