Making sure I understand the above, since I'm not sure what you mean  
by an "updated ...pretest".  I have been updating via TLU all along,  
and the latest update was shortly before I started this thread.  I  
have not downloaded and installed any recent mactex tarballs.  With  
that, the 10.6 installation presented me with the failure that  
prompted all this, and I "fixed" the problem by switching to "Tex+DVI"  
on 10.6.

Is there still an issue?

Thanks for your help (and clarifying some things along the way).
