Once set .. alias x="latex file.tex" alias y="dvips file.dvi -o file.ps" :> file.ps gv file.ps & In gv switch on State->"Watch file" to automatically update the gv-screen after every change to file.ps. This is espeacially usefull for documents with more than one page. You can select the page your are working on and stay there. Then for the trial and error phase you only have to type x and y. If you use gvim as your editor it opens its own window and puts itself into the background leaving the shell command line of your terminal free. gvim also understands latex and shows commands in different colors. -- Best regards Klaus
