Lucky dog! So why can't I?

Is it at all possible that this is all because I have added the 8-bit
BibTeX to an older v.2.2 version? Mine's 2.2.3 -- but I think Jean
(Delayen) also has v.2.2.3 and he too can process files without a
hitch. It's just gotta be something wrong on my machine ... ;-(

All the function keys are programmable as shortcuts. I don't use
Notepad so I reassigned the F4 key to BibTeX. There is nothing
inherent to F4 that requires it to access Notepad. Assignment of
F-keys is arbitrary.

If you look at the .ini file in an ascii editor, which allows you to
see all the lines in it, look for the [Applications] section, which is
where you can customise what F-keys do what. Just follow any existing
line as a model. In my case, I have the following mappings:

[Applications]
DummyEntry=1
Help|F1=C:\yandy\dviwindo\dviwindo.exe C:\yandy\dviwindo\dvi_help.dvi
DOS (Full Screen)|F2=C:\yandy\dviwindo\dosprmpt.pif
DOS (Windowed)|F3=C:\yandy\dviwindo\doswinpt.pif
Separator7=Line

The text to the left of the | is what appears in the TeX menu -- I
could have assigned F4 the label `babelstuff' -- and if my BibTeX were
actually functioning ;-(, the F4 key would still have worked. The left
side of the | is screen-display only. What's to the right of the =
sign, now that's what's actually significant and read by the computer
;-)


Now, you said you don't have a latex entry in your TeX menu -- take
the one from mine above -- and assign it whatever F-key you still have
available.

By the way, that line about WordPerfect is not because I actually use
WP as an editor ;-) It was to test how to set up a different editor --
and it works. I just keep it around as a reminder ;-)
