[John Baldwin]

Thanks for the suggestion. I also had written to miktex and got a slighlty

in users/administrator/roaming/ ....

I am having trouble finding the end of that chain. But the first part is 
there while there is no file c:\miktexmf

If you are interested the thread on the miktex site I originated has more 
info.

setup did not I think ask where to put such things.
