I’m surprised that someone is still using this.
It doesn’t even work with current KOMA Script.

I’m using TeXShop which shows a log window and has an input line where you can type the input.
Maybe TeXMaker has something similar.

But it is much easier to turn ardir into a batch file that doesn’t need any interaction at all.

Please find enclosed the file I use.
Instead of using DVI Tools I now generate pdf and assemble the pages with pdfpages.

To answer your second question:
Start „Terminal“
Type „cd “, drop the folder icon of the folder containing your files to the terminal window and press return. (You can type the path instead.)
You should now be able to type „pdflatex <filename>“ in the terminal window.

Greetings Axel
