You are quite correct! I did reinstall using Wierda's teTeX and it 
still did not work. I forgot that I needed to log out and then log 
back in. Now it works like a charm (again). The file that appears to 
be the relevant one is:

/usr/share/init/tcsh/login

which has the lines:

# teTeX modifications have been added Sat Sep 29 10:55:15 EDT 2001
##
set path = ( ${path} /usr/local/teTeX/bin/powerpc-apple-darwin1.3.7 )
setenv MANPATH "${MANPATH}:/usr/local/teTeX/man:/usr/local/man"

Thank you!
