Thank you - this was indeed the step I was missing, and now it works.

For my purposes (my requirements are not large, I'm not in a hurry, and 
I don't want to waste time learning multiple ways of doing things), I 
have decided to do everything strictly in mkiv - no mkii and no latex. 
I want to learn the future habits and methods now, and drop the old 
ones right away. For me, is the command

texexec --lua myfile.tex

the best way to work, or is there something else I should switch to? 
(e.g. mtxrun or something)

Thanks
David
