A colleague of mine wrote a set of basic commands, but I don't know enough about ME on the Mac to know how to load them in (I've never tried). If that makes you happy, then just get the excellent OzTeX package, which is public domain. It includes a previewer. if the moral is, spend your effort on the editor, and get the TeXery for free. -- Sebastian Rahtz S.Rahtz@uk.ac.soton.ecs (JANET) Computer Science S.Rahtz@ecs.soton.ac.uk (Bitnet) Southampton S09 5NH, UK S.Rahtz@sot-ecs.uucp (uucp)
