Hi David

Its not as bad as it seems.  Go into your home directory.
Open Library and create a folder called texmf,
in this create a folder called tex, in this
a folder called latex and in this a folder called misc.
Dump things in misc.

You don't need to do anything like texhash at the command line.
You don't have to fiddle with texmf.cnf.




Michael
