As it says above: no breakage.  The prefs panel shows all of my  
distributions (and did once I repaired the broken "texbin" link).

The problems I saw all seemed to stem from that once issue; with the  
one change (the link), things went from not working at all to working  
as expected.

Again, thanks for giving this some thought.
