Thank you all very much indeed. I have decided, actually made a short list, as follows: 1. One spends a lot of time with the editor, so it is one personal attachment I have and that happens to be Emacs. I am keeping the terminal Emacs (21.1) that came with my OSX distribution, but will try the GUI one too. I have a few questions; I posted those under a different subject "Emacs 21.3.50 on Mac OSX 10.2.2". 2. For the time being at least I wont get X11 but will try to work with the native aqua/quartz/display-pdf. 3. I'll get Gerben Wierda's teTeX. I'll probably use command line pdftex but I'll also try TeXShop. In addition, I will try previe-latex, auctex, reftex combo recoomended by a few posters. 4. I have noted the recommendations for diagrams but I'm going to revisit this issue later, after I have gotten the basic setup going. A
