Frank and Herbert .... I *thank* you. Your info caused me to stop searching for these files via Finder, but use the commercial application "Find Any File" instead. It found all those files in a long path starting with
/usr/local/texlive/2010/texmf-dict/tex/latex .....
I've learned a *lot* with this little exercise!
