I just looked my TeXShop Preferences and copied my path for pdfTeX:

/usr/local/teTeX/bin/powerpc-apple-darwin-current

to both the latex and dvips paths requested by RPN2TeX.  This seems to work.

I'm pretty sure it was $800!   I remember the 35's being $400 until 
the 45's came out, and then it was HP35: $300,  HP45: $400, and HP65 
: $800.   I have a semi-working HP65 a neighbor gave to me.  What a 
treasure!
