Thanks, for the help, this error is fixed now, I will look into some
gui packages for producing documents, however I would like to also
learn the manual way so If I am ever stuck at a console, and need to
produce something, I can do.
as latex produces pdf output, I can create a document from the command
line, ok at present I am using kwrite to write the code, but I could
easily use joe, vim or emacs or some other editor.
I am also looking at txt2tags, so that should keep me busy too
does anyone have any recomendations for books on latex (amazon do some
sub £20 which look like they may fit the bill, ideally there would be a
dummies guide or sams TYS in 24 hrs or 14 days, type book.
thanks again
Paul
