When I say \input{filename}, it seems the pathname must either be a full pathname or must be in the current directory. I want a search path, like the Unix environment variable PATH. This will be a list of directories to be searched in order to find the file I specify. I don't believe that such a thing doesn't exist, because not having it is *extremely* inconvenient. Please tell my I'm wrong - it does exist. -- David Cogen

the \input search path is TEXINPUTS. e.g., setenv TEXINPUTS ".:$HOME/Latex:$HOME/../Latex:/mnt/tapestry/Latex:/usr/local/lib/tex82/localmacros:/usr/local/lib/tex82/macros:"
