I'm using MikTeX 2.9.

I found "dir /s /b > print.txt" online as a way to print the file names to  
a file.  (attached)

I ran this, and the line

    C:/TeX/tex/texmf/tex/latex/mtpro2/mtpro2.sty

appeared.  That's probably good?

I ran your example, and got a log file (attached).  The stuff that  
appeared in the terminal window while it was running looks like what  
appeared in the window at the bottom of WinEDT when I ran my original  
Plain TeX file.  One of the lines in the terminal output was "Couldn't  
find `mt2e.cfg'".  I searched myself for that file in my local folder and  
the MikTeX folder, and the local and roaming appdata folders, and didn't  
find it.  Is this something that's supposed to be created when running  
updmap?


Thanks,


Stan
