Howdy,

Sigh... Someone has discovered (I didn't test that case :-( ) that the  
Drop scripts aren't behaving properly with included files. I believe  
I've just fixed that in an update. You can download updated Drop  
Scripts as DropTeXcount.zip from <http://homepage.mac.com/herbs2>.

Please send me feedback as appropriate.

(Also... can anyone with deeper knowledge about bash shell scripting  
than I have [that's a lot of folks on this list!] explain push/pop to  
me?)

Good Luck,

Herb Schulz
