[OS X TeX] \input and Texroot

[Claus Gerhardt]

I recommend to duplicate the original folder, highlight the folder and hit command-d, then rename the duplicated folder to your liking but leave its contents unchanged. Then you should have a working set up.

So I created a new folder, and am one-by-one duplicating the section files, moving it to the new folder, renaming the file <section>.tex copy (reps. <section>.ex.tex) as  <section>14.tex (resp. <section>14.ex.tex), changing the root to

I have the following weird situation: if I hit the "Typeset" tab from file dot14.ex.tex, the compiler works away on compiling the book until it gets to \input{dot14.ex} where it stops and gives me the error message: can't find file dot14.ex.  Same if I typeset from CalcThree14.tex.
