If the "xml2rfc" program is self-contained, you may want to bundle it with your XXE configuration (one copy per platform!). By doing this, you don't need to tell your users to change their PATH|~/.MacOSX/environment.plist. Suffice to use: --- <shell command="%C%Sxml2rfc ... " platform=" ... "/> --- %C=name of the directory containing the XXE configuration file from which the process command has been loaded. %S=native path component separator of the platform. See http://www.xmlmind.com/xmleditor/_distrib/docs/commands/ch05s01s12.html and http://www.xmlmind.com/xmleditor/_distrib/docs/commands/ch05s01s13.html If you cannot bundle the "xml2rfc" program, use the above method but with a .bat/.sh script which will attempt to find and run an installed copy of the "xml2rfc" program.
