The PATH issue is still a mystery; Steve's trick did not work, at least
as I implemented it, but the external call works with the full path in
so there it goes for now. I have had some similar issues with TeXLive
under Ubuntu.

That sed 's is a handy tool! (Just had to close it out with a /) Thank
you for pointing me to it. The 'texing and viewing now work, perhaps I
can use sed to delete the .aux and .log files produced by latex?--I will
work on that.

Many thanks for your helps.
