Thanks for the quick reply. I did as you asked and ran the command. There
is a texi2html shown at /usr/bin/ but no other. However, I opened /sw/bin
and found an alias of texi2html located within that folder. Oddly enough,
when I tried to "Show Original" of that alias, a dialog box came up on the
screen, saying "The alias 'texi2html' could not be opened, because the
original item can not be found." A "Get Info" request shows that it was at
sw/etc/alternatives/texi2html, even though the "More Info" section of "Get
Info" had a continuously spinning beach ball-type thingy, as if the system
was searching for it.
Perhaps I should delete (or fix) the alias which I found?
