Even better, the command could return the >top-level output as a string to the calling application. Probably an even better way would be to have input and output to Caml via apple events, so that you could run it using Alpha as a shell. You would then have all the facilities of Alpha, and input and output to Caml would appear in Alpha windows. I've just been working with Tom Kiffe on doing this with CMacTeX, and it's really quite easy; if anyone wants more details, I can send them. Graham White
