The amount of interaction with TeX in any form is minimal. 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 ___________________________________________________________________________________
