I just have checked the kpathsea maual and the info page an I can't see anything wrong. The manual even tells you how to use quotes for the shell. The place that mentions `--format="dvips config"' refers to Dvips configuration files (e.g. config.ps) which you can find using --format="dvips config" (even in teTeX-3). In other words: teTeX-2.x has used --format="dvips config" for map files and other config files. Now (in teTeX-3.x), map files have their own proper path, but --format="dvips config" still exists. OK? Thomas
