Well, I got as far as your 3, that is I ran bibtex on myfile.tex from the command line. It gave me lots of LateX Errors, like
LaTeX Warning: Citation `plantinga:1985a' on page 2 undefined on input line 103 But it didn't seem to produce myfile.bbl; at least I don't see it anywhere. Maybe it didn't generate because of all the errors? So I'm stuck at this point. By the way, I did find a space in the filename, which I closed. I don't know how to tell if there are spaces in the directory structure. Thanks for the help.
