	Hi!

A couple of days I asked a question concerning reading a file with the  
tex extention on a NeXT.  As one of the resident computer geeks at my  
college, I've been asked this question often enough that I think it  
deserves a summary.  Thank you very much to all that sent me explanations.   
To summerize, the message of most utility:

   Essentially, its just by typing `latex filename` or `tex filename` from
   a shell command-line (in either Terminal, Stuart or what-ever terminal
   emulator you use).

   The basics are explained in the file /usr/tex/ntman.dvi.As you probably
   guessed you can view this file with TeXview, by double-cliking 
   ntman.dvi in a Workspace browser, starting TeXview and using its Open
   menu item, or typing `open /usr/tex/ntman.dvi` from a shell
   command-line.

   Once you've gotten a little way thru that document, you should be able
   to do some basics.  There is another file, this time a .tex source
   file.  It is /usr/lib/tex/inputs/local.tex.

   After getting thru those, you will benefit greatly from purchasing
   two books:

LaTeX: 
A Document Preparation System, Leslie Lamport.  Addison-Wesley, c1986.
    and
    
The TeXbook, Donald Knuth.  Addison-Wesley, c1986.

Another one that I liked, just because it's the way that I think:

    Create the dvi file first then double click on the dvi file.
    To create the dvi file, run tex on the tex file.
    To run tex on the tex file, type 'tex filename' or 'latex filename'   
in a shell window.
