In *scratch* buffer:

	(getenv "PATH")

followed by a newline character after the closing parentheses, i.e. C- 
j. The value of $PATH in some *shell* or such buffer is not the same  
which is used when Emacs.app creates a sub-process for whatever.

Extended rumours say that you can set the correct PATH value in your  
login shell's *login* related RC file. For (t)csh it's ~/.login, for  
(Bourne) sh it's ~/.profile, for bash it's ~/.profile if it exists or  
~/.bash_login – see the bash man page for lots of fun. It's also  
possible to use the ~/.MacOSX/environment.plist file, which seem to  
fail in at least one application.

You can fix this also in Emacs by putting into your init file:

	(setenv "PATH" (concat "/usr/texbin" path-separator (getenv "PATH")))

People say that if you play Microsoft CD's backwards, you hear satanic  
things, but that's nothing, because if you play them forwards, they  
install MS Windows.
