UNBELIEVABLE. hahaha! That's pretty much the funniest end to this absurd escapade I could have imagined. Indeed, after opening Mnemosyne via Terminal, it compiles latex code properly!
I wish I understood the details of what you wrote earlier, because I would be happy to spend some time looking at this so as to find a more reasonable (?) solution, but I really wouldn't know where to begin. Do you have any suggestions as to 'first steps' with the command line? After all of this, I feel it would be well worth while to become further acquainted, but I've yet to find a good means of introduction . . . At any rate, thank you (all of you) for helping me with this. Mnemosyne is a wonderful bit of software & is helping me in all my classes from classical Arabic to quantum field theory. I hope eventually I will be able to contribute usefully to the forum. All the best, Abel.
