Hi again Umbraticus,

Sorry for spamming you today.  But I wanted to let you know your
command works and I had made a typo implementing it.

The final plumb command became,

data     matches '([a-zA-Z¡-�0-9_\-.,/]+)\.(dvi|DVI)'
arg isfile $0
plumb start rc -c 'kertex/dvips -q '$wdir'/'$0' | page -w'

My only addition to what you suggested was to run dvips with -q to
suppress the stdout output.  Thanks for the help today.

Take care,

Chris
