TeXShell is a set of macros offering a full environment where you
can work within. This version for VM/CMS tries to create a similar en-
vironment of TeXShell for MSDOS. Using TeXShell you'll save time because
you can print, compose and issue a preview from a single screen.
There are three special jobs:
(1) Pressing PF2 key under TeXSHELL environment you'll get a
menu with TeX/LaTeX commands. Pressing the respective PF-key, the command
will be placed on the cursor position. This set of macros was written by
Freilich Oded (P84021 at BARILVM.BITNET), Bar-Ilan University.
(2) A scheme to deal with errors using TEXLOG file: under
LOGVIEW environment, pressing PF4 key will carry you exactly where
the error was found by TeX. PF5 key does the same but to LaTeX warnings.
(3) A case sensitive HELP. When you put the cursor on a word and
press PF1 you'll get a LaTeX help. The help source is from George Greenwa-
de.
The default configuration of TeXShell is to our system (BRFUEM).
I guess you'll not find troubles in configure it to your system.
Change the files: PREVIEW.XEDIT, PRINTTEX.XEDIT and TEXSHELL.CONFIG.
I intend to put ''configuration menus'' in the next version and to
improve the on line help|
It's right that TeXShell for VM/CMS has a lot of bugs but I think
putting it to cyberspace is the best way to remove them!
Any bugs/suggestion can be send to
