<div class="" style="word-wrap:break-word; line-break:after-white-space">I tried the changes you and Murray Eisenberg suggested. It crashed the compilation.
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">Here is what I know:</div>
<div class="">1. Murray talked about PDFLatex. I don’t know if it is the same thing as I am using. The TeXShop editor allows the following Typeset options:</div>
<div class=""><span class="x_Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"></span>Plain Tex</div>
<div class=""><span class="x_Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"></span>Latex</div>
<div class=""><span class="x_Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"></span>Bibtex</div>
<div class=""><span class="x_Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"></span>Makeindex</div>
<div class=""><span class="x_Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"></span>Xelatex</div>
<div class=""><span class="x_Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"></span>Xetex</div>
<div class="">I have always used the Latex setting, which seems to include Ghostscript, etc (I use Pstricks a lot, and it works with that setting.)</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">2. My preamble has \usepackage{graphix}</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">3. dropping the .pdf in the file name results in “file plot1 not found"</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">5. Again the TeXShop editor menu has two macros for figures: regular or eps. The settings I mentioned in my previous email were the eps settings (including all the </div>
<div class="">weird stuff like \bf inside the caption) which I had used because when I used the regular setting (which I usually do) the typesetting crashed. With the eps settings, the </div>
<div class="">system simply says it doesn’t recognize the \epsfile command, and skips the whole picture.</div>
<div class="">The changes suggested by both of you take me back to the “regular” settings.</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">4. The console output which concerns the relevant part of the source code is</div>
