Hey Peter,

The solution that I have found for everything so far:

put the .bib and .bst files to be used into the .TeXmacs/system/bib 
directory. Whatever format issues you might be having should be solved 
by the correct .bst file, for example, there is a file for APA stye and 
IEEE styles available for downloading. Using emacs bibtex mode, I have 
been able to successfully edit a .bib file, although this has required 
a little bit of ingenuity since all of these directories are hidden.

Is there a better way to do this? This was very frustrating to figure 
out.

John D.
