Hello all,
I just would like to clear up the little problem I had with calling the executables for musixflx, pmx and m-tx, and how it's been fixed. Everyone who mailed me had the same solution: tell the OS where your files are by placing their paths in the PATH statement, either in autoexec.bat or in Start->Settings->Control Panel->System->Advanced->Environment Variables. Even better is to put copies of the executables into a single directory so that only one directory need be entered. This methodology is covered in both of the MiKTeX HOWTOs, written by Christof Biebricher and Eva Jaksch. My problem is that I was trying to hang on to my old method (which worked) of placing Windows-based "DOS shortcuts" in the same directory as my batch files. These "shortcut" files have full information about the executables' respective paths (one shortcut per executable). Thus the executables' location(s) should not have to be provided as in the above paragraph. In any case I now find it to be a bad approach. Now I have created a bin directory directly under my local texmf directory and included it in the system PATH. Needless to say it works, but I still don't understand why my old method stopped working. Not that I still particularly care. Many thanks to all who so quickly responded.
