Ahhh.  Thanks Sammy.  One problem fixed.  Thanks.  I didn't know 
about this possibility.  Of course, it makes compiling TSE macros 
much pleasanter as well.

There must be a way for the calling program to force the console 
to open in a window.  That should probably either be the default 
or at least an option from within TSE.  (I know ... so many 
options, so little time.)

Now I can work on the problem of pausing the return from DOS. 
That is actually a less serious problem, because I can always 
have TSE load the log file automatically.  With Tex, that isn't a 
desirable solution, because the log file contains too much 
information --- much more information that the screen directed 
progress report from the compiler.  It is not something that you 
want to look at unless you need to for some reason.  I don't want 
to redirect the compiler output, because I want to see the output 
as it happens in real time.  Is it possible to Tee the output, so 
that it goes to a file and simultaneously to the screen?

Thanks again,
John Frampton
