[John P Daigle <address@hidden>]

Hello Everyone,

I am somewhat new to X-Windows, BibTeX, TeXmacs, LaTex, etc. I have 
read all of the FAQ's and solved a lot of the basic installation 
problems, found the libraries, etc. So now I am running TeXmacs under 
X11 under Mac OS 10.3.

My problem is that I cannot seem to get  my bibliography to work. I 
have a test bibtex file that looks like this:

@Article{backus1998,
  author =       {J. Backus},
  title =        {The History of Fortran I, II, & III},
  journal =      {Annals of the History of Computing},
  year =         {1998},
  OPTkey =       {},
  OPTvolume =    {20},
  OPTnumber =    {4},
  OPTpages =     {68-78},
  OPTmonth =     {Oct-Dec},
  OPTnote =      {},
  OPTannote =    {}
}

I save this file, lets call it testbib.bib, in the same file as 
testbib.tm, a TeXmacs file.

In the .tm file, I type a section of text and then insert a cite, which 
looks like this: <cite|backus1998>

I then use Text -> Automatic -> bibliography and ask it to use style: 
plain, file:testbib.bib.

It inserts a bibliography tag, I update the bibliography, and nothing 
happens. No bibliography. This is what the LaTex file looks like:

\documentclass{article}

\begin{document}

This is article text right here.{\cite{backus1998}}



\bibliographystyle{plain} \bibliography{testbib.bib}

\end{document}

I've tried various levels of path descriptions for the .bib file, and 
so far nothing works. Help?
