Thanks Edward,
g.execute_shell_commands('pdflatex latex_test.tex')
Does indeed do the business - my leo file is in the same directory as the
latex files which maybe makes the path stuff easier.
I got greedy though and added the line below
g.execute_shell_commands('"C:\Program Files
(x86)\SumatraPDF\SumatraPDF.exe" latex_test.pdf')
which works but hangs Leo so I guess I need a Sumatra batch file. Can I
execute that with g.execute_shell_commands?
