Well, as I said, I don't really know my way round on Macs. As it was I had
to install various developer tools, teTeX, Emacs, and AucTeX. I didn't
really fancy adding having to install X as well to the mix. Maybe I made
the wrong decision, but its made now. I think the only thing I have to do
to sort out the current problem is customize the value of exec-path.

Well, I guess they will eventually want it on their machines too. The
thing is that most of them don't seem to be very computer savvy - much
happier with chalk and a blackboard or a marker pen and a white board.
Installing a lisp package might sound to them rather like string theory
does to me!

The fact remains that they all thought it was ultra cool!

Thanks for the help, and thanks for preview-latex and auctex!

Best, Darren
