Hi All,

I think I expressed my second question badly: what I meant to ask is
this: is there a way to include files other than the standard TeX
\inputcommand? I can easily get the \input in my example to work by
modifying the $TEXINPUTS environmental variable, but I wasn't sure if
that was the "accepted" way....

Thanks,

Glenn
