The very short documentation says: > > setenv TEXINPUTS ./:/dev/D/tex/texinput (!) Gulam (or Mupfel for those using Gemini) will not like that as the : cannot be used as a separator. Also / is not understood in TOS. Assuming your files are D:\tex\* then you use the command setenv TEXINPUTS .,d:\tex or setenv TEXINPUTS ".;d:\tex" Note the " in the second form to avoid the ; being taken as a command separator. A method I prefer is to set the environment independantly of the shell I use. The prog is environ.prg which must be in \auto and the data file is \environ.dat . In the data file I place (amongst others) TEXINPUTS=.;d:\tex environ is available on most archives. John. -- John Trickey || ..!mcsun!ukc!axion!its G4REV @ GB7SUT Voice: +44 21 333 3369 #include
