Ok! Many thanks for this. I will go through and check that the 
directories are set up properly. I am on 10.3, FYI; I should have 
clarified that sooner.

Ah! So sorry. Didn't mean to bring up a hot-button issue. But, then, if 
it is a hot-button issue, it seems likely that each side has pretty 
good points. Maybe you view the two formats depends on what you use: 
I've never used pstricks or the like, for example. (I use gimp or 
Illustrator to create graphics, and then import them into LaTex using 
epstopdf.

Again, thanks for your time and expertise. I'll have to get to 
understanding OzTex better before I can move forward. One thing is for 
sure: OzTex got a mighty cute icon (hee hee--such a girly thing to 
say).
