Thanks, raju.

What a silly mistake not mentioning my distro! I thought TeXmacs either 
would work with any tex package or it wouldn't.

I'm on Mepis 7 which is binary compatible with Etch. I think I will stay 
with Etch, because I just want stability.

Would it not be possible for TeXmacs to pick up any tex distribution 
that is installed? Like LyX does. Often people have various programs 
installed that need tweaking. I've been tweaking my LyX setup (or trying 
to!) for a while. And now I have to revert back to tetex to set up 
TeXmacs. Not a complaint. But maybe it would help people who have things 
set up a certain way. But I know little about this stuff...

Thanks,
Ryan
