If it runs to completion fine, if it stalls one can key "x" to abort or "q" to continue with out further error messages What I do is edit the TeX source file in Gvim. I assign F2 to readjusting all the text in Gvim, F3 to running pdftex book.tex. F4 to running texexec book.tex and F5 to running in background kpdf book.pdf I operate from a terminal window on the GUI (KDE in my case.) -- John Culleton Resources for every author and publisher: http://wexfordpress.com/tex/shortlist.pdf http://wexfordpress.com/tex/packagers.pdf http://www.creativemindspress.com/newbiefaq.htm http://www.gropenassoc.com/TopLevelPages/reference%20desk.htm ___________________________________________________________________________________ If your question is of interest to others as well, please add an entry to the Wiki! maillist : ntg-context@ntg.nl / http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context webpage : http://www.pragma-ade.nl / http://tex.aanhet.net archive : https://foundry.supelec.fr/projects/contextrev/ wiki : http://contextgarden.net ___________________________________________________________________________________
