Thanks Edward - I hadn't used @clean before and that seems to work just fine.
Is it possible to undertake the next step and send commands to the OS command line - I think this is how AucTex works in Emacs - so I can send 'pdflatex currentfile.tex' to the windows command line so that the file can be processed and a pdf produced? If so this is going to be much easier than Scrivener compiling. Is it possible to view a pdf from within Leo? I use Sumatra which is cool but thought I better check while on the subject? Thanks again for all Leo efforts, much appreciated.
