(For Herb, Richard et al. helping Frederick: he was using OzTeX.)

Fred,

As a front-end to (La)TeX I guess you were using Alpha ---TeXShop (in 
/Applications/TeX, as Richard said) is, in my opinion, a much more 
user-friendly front-end. If memory serves, there is a movie in the Help 
menu that in a minute or so tells you how to use it.

But, of course, the documents Richard mentions are your main source of 
information.
