Thank you nicolas and Ted!
nicolas' Makefile suggestion does the job (I had to add a colon after
Makefile and change my tab setting from 4 spaces back to tab. Thanks
for making it explicit in your message)...actually it works better
because it cleans up the entire project folder. It also serves as
reminder to attend to basic shell concepts.
Ted is correct that the presence of a Makefile 'obstructs' Vim-LaTex
build unless turned off in the texrc file (at least that's how I did
it.) That would have been a pita to figure out without that tip.
Thanks again,
John (cflmish)
