Murray,<br><br>I also "translated" my Y&Y TeX installation to another computer the same way you did and <br>found WinEDT acting strangely. Further investigation showed that the problem was in<br>the way WinEDT set some paths up -- stuff like '%b\Exec\ps2pdf.edt' in winedt.ini.<br>

bin directory seems to have fixed this.<br>
<br>
But why? BEFORE I added that to the path, the WinEdt Configuration<br>
Wizard's Diagnosis already showed the correct path to gswin32c.exe:<br>
<br>
GS-Bin: (gswin32c.exe): OK*<br>
D:\WP\gs\gs8.61\bin\gswin32c.exe<br>
<br>
And the WinEdt Execution Modes - YandY TeX dialog's Ghostscript tab also<br>
already showed the correct GS Bin folder.<br>
