[texworks] Trouble with auto-pst-pdf

[Iwan Setyawan]

Hi Will,

OK, I'll try it  later today when i'm in front of my windows box. I take it
that 'ls' is the *nix command 'ls'? Should I try this only under Cygwin
then?

Regarding the 2nd line of the original example (i.e, NOTUSING WINDOWS): as I
said in my original post, I also get NOTUSING WINDOWS when I typeset the
example from both TeXworks *and* windows command prompt. In these cases,
shouldn't the output say USING WINDOWS?
