<table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="0" ><tr><td valign="top" style="font: inherit;">Hi,<br><br>I downloaded and installed <span style="font-weight: bold;">proTeXt </span>a day or so ago and printed out and used Thomas <span style="text-decoration: underline;">Feuerstack's really nice installation guide</span>, the interactive PDF document called "The Quickest Way to a TeX System." i TRULY appreciate the effort that Mr. Feuerstack put into this handy guide. What follows should be taken as an attempt to be helpful, and definitely NOT criticism. I LIKED that document so much I want to help improve it.<br><br>My OCD tendancies make me collect typos, edits, suggestions, whatever, as if my prior technical writing experience were still at play, whenever and every time I read a technical document, and I've done it yet again. Chancing that you might be interested in maintaining that document, I want to send information to you, and will do so in
this email, just after this paragraph (The items in the list were numbered in Word, but that got lost in cut and paste):<br><br><!--[if gte mso 9]><xml>

the document should indicate that you are looking for FOLDERs in the program

</span></span></span>Page 9, 1.5.4, for the uninitiated (or just
plain dumb?) it would be nice to know a little more about “<span style="font-style: italic;">Local TEXMF Tree</span>”
that “<span style="font-style: italic;">some people remember</span>?” I have never even heard of this before reading
this document. A) What is it for? B) How does it work? C) What are the three
directories grouped together in <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight:normal">C:\Documents
and Settings</b> for and why are they mentioned?</p>

</span></span></span>Page 10 – Install Note: “<span style="font-style: italic;">You really can’t do
anything wrong</span>. . .” seemed a bit silly to me, considering that I was pretty
much working in the dark from the moment I tried to install MiKTeX and it
wanted to go to the incorrect directory and then would say something like some other directory didn’t exist, and certainly after I tried to initially actually
do something and out came <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight:normal">Cannot execute
