[texpoint-users] Shell Command Failed

Sat Jul 8 15:48:50 PDT 2006

I am getting the error message:
Tex2Bmp: Shell command failed for <ghostscript> execultion.
when I try to display in EMF mode. What is weird is that after opeing PP, it works in EMF for one command.

Here is what follows the error message.
