Thanks to everybody who helped with the installation problem for the HP 840
I don't have it installed yet, but I have enough information that I should
be able to get it going, or get a tape from someone who has done the work

Next question:  Are there any syntax checkers or debuggers for TeX or 
LaTeX out there in source code form.  We waste a lot of time debugging
LaTeX around here because running LaTeX takes a while, and its not smart
enough to spot a mismatched parenthesis.(the biggest headache with complicated
equations)  Incidentally, we are currently running TeX on PC's, so Emacs 
add-ins, etce are not feasible just yet.  Many Thanks.
