I have now followed your suggestion and created a file mympto
where I put

#! /bin/sh
echo 'This is my mpto'
/usr/local/tex5/bin/mpto $*

and in the file texexec.ini, I put

set  MpToTeXExecutable  to  mympto

Then, mympto is indeed called (as can be shown if
I rename mympto into mympto2), but it doesn't change
my problem.

I really don't think the problem is the line

set  MpToTeXExecutable ...

It has something to do with mpto.

But again, if I just call mpost directly it works.

For some reason, the current directory used by mpost
is different from the one it should be.

How could I investigate this in more depth?

Thanks,

Denis
