Re: Newbie questions

[Thomas Moore <tmoore@pomona.edu>]

Dear Gerben:  Thanks, the t-amsl module does seemed to be pre- 
installed. I just downloaded TeX/LaTeX/ ConTexT recently (mid June)  
using an all-in-one-step installer, and I have not upgraded, so I  
guess that my t-amsl file might be outdated. Thanks for the  
suggestion about where to put the new module -- this will help in the  
future.  Best wishes, Tom
