I'm sorry for not responding earlier to the question of the bug I'm =
referring to in BBEdit. I receive the digest version to limit the number =
of messages received from this very busy list.
Anyway, the bug is that BBEdit does not recognize page breaks when in Soft =
Wrap Text mode. I discovered this bug last summer and I told Bare Bones =
about it. They acknowledged its existence and told me that it was on the =
list of bugs to be fixed for a future release. It wasn't fixed in 6.5.3 =
and it only made sense to me that it would be fixed in 7.0. But alas, it =
is not fixed. Bare Bones told me: "In the case of this particular bug, it =
didn't make the cut for 7.0, but we do anticipate that it will be =
investigated and resolved for a future maintenance update." Maybe I'm one =
of a few who wish this bug was fixed, but it is a bug that is very =
inconvenient to those of us who use Soft Wrap Text mode.
Normally, I wouldn't submit such an off topic message to this list, but I =
saw that many subscribers to the list use BBEdit for editing TeX files so =
I took the opportunity to contribute to the discussion.
One more item. I appreciate this list a great deal and I've found it an =
invaluable resource of TeX on Mac OS X information. Thanks to all of the =
individuals who contribute to this list.

OK, I never used the page break in BBEdit 8-)

Clearly and I did not know this could happen, thanks for catching this.
I find it rather counterintuitive that "foo help" could do anything but
tell me what commands it can handle... I'll have to look into this.

Subject: BBEdit 7.0 and TeXshop question
From: "Nick Rich"
Date: Sun, 17 Nov 2002 18:58:58 +0000
I am trying out BBEdit 7.0 .
When I Latex a file in Texshop, which I am editing in BBEdit 7.0, and
I get an error,
if I hit e in the TeX Input box it tells me I have
vi: unknown: unknown terminal type
! trouble executing vi +53 file.tex
Now, in my Terminal shells, I have successfully set my EDITOR variable
to be bbedit -w:
[weebeastie:~] nick% printenv | grep EDITOR
EDITOR=3Dbbedit -w
and I have for other reasons rebooted the machine and that setting
sticks.
Can anyone tell me how to tell TeXshop to run bbedit -w +53 file.tex
instead ?
Thanks
Nick

Hi Nick
Thats interesting. I didn't know that TeXShop would pass those
sorts of commands. Try
setenv TEXEDIT "bbedit +%d %s"
in your .cshrc or wherever you have it.
You can test that this works by latexing from the command line with
a file that has an error in it.

Ah sorry all. I should have tried before I replied. I get the same
thing as Nick even with bbedit set as above.

You seem not to have write access at the location of the PS file. Copy
it elsewhere first.

This method is out of date since 10.2. See "man manpath"

The TeX i-packages configuration stage (if you can use that) will add
TeX *and* /usr/local/bin to your default shell path setting. It edits
/etc/csh.login, which is the system wide login settings file and adds
the paths for every user except root (security issue). E.g.:
## TeX modifications start at Wed Nov 6 19:54:52 CET 2002
## Do not remove the previous line
if ("${uid}" !=3D "0") then
set path =3D ( ${path}
/usr/local/teTeX/bin/powerpc-apple-darwin-current /usr/local/bin)
endif
## Do not remove the next line
## TeX modifications end at Wed Nov 6 19:54:52 CET 2002

It is harmless. It will be fixed in a later pdftex release.

The TeX packages have been updated and are now better protected against
environment variables that might disrupt the working of teTeX's
scripts. I cannot guarantuee that all problems are solved and in
general, I advise against changing the default environment variables
for GUI apps.
