As I said I am no programmer so, just to be sure, I don't mean fink  
as in installing LaTeX stuff but fink as in package{fink} and fink.sty

Well, all my stuff always resides in subfolders of one big folder so  
that ought to be good enough.

However, I don't understand the syntax of  $fullname, $basename,  
$fileext, $filedir. Is it internal to TeXWorks or should I change

	\xdef\CheckableItem{\finkdir-\finkbase}

which is using fink.sty?

P.S. I just downloaded TeXworks-Mac-0.2.3r466 and it opens and  
typesets chapters OK but when I tried to typeset Quiz 1 from QUIZZES-

Here is what I got

/usr/texbin/pdftex: unrecognized option `-synctex=1'
This is pdfTeX, Version 3.141592-1.40.3 (Web2C 7.5.6)
entering extended mode
(./1.tex
! Undefined control sequence.
l.1 \InputIfFileExists
{ADMsettings.tex}{}{}
?

This is not my code, though, and I will have to let the author know.
