I use Guadalinex, a linux system based on Debian, and I only use apt-get, or 
synaptic, and I obtain the version that comes in the Debian package. I'm new 
in linux, and I can't do anything better, and I think that, probably, there 
is not a better way to install a program in Linux.

¡Yes!, I remember now that I have do it time ago to put it in spanish. Sorry. 
I think anyway that everybody understood me.

Yes, it works.

I did (in a root terminal):

   guadalinex:/home/antonio# cd /
   guadalinex:/# find -name *texmacs.scm
   find: ./proc/943/fd: No existe el fichero o el directorio
   ./usr/share/texmacs/TeXmacs/progs/init-texmacs.scm
   guadalinex:/#



and you can see the result (my-init-texmacs.scm doesn't exist). Also, How can 
I get the "~" character?. By now, I only copy and paste it.

Then, I was in a mistake.

This was wat I needed. I didn't find it in the documentation. "A-backspace" 
is the solution.

But my problem does not end here, because, however this works to change the 
list level, I obtain a extrange behaiviour when I have lists in a table. I 
will describe it:
I have a 7 (columns) x 3 (rows) table and I have in the 2,3 cell a two level 
list with Itemize->dashes (the first level) and Itemize->bullets (the second 
level). In the cell just at the bootom of that, I begin a list with 
Itemize->dashes, and I obtain a list whit an extra left margin compared with 
the first level list in the above cell. It seems like a second level, and I 
wanted a first level. That's wy I posted that cuestion first. But now, if I 
use A-backspace, it does not reach the same left margin that the first level 
list in the above cell. It reaches less left margin, and the dash is 
subtituted by an asterisc.
What is happenig?. Can anybody help me?.

Thank you very much again, and
greetengs from Málaga, Spain.
