Thanks Peter. But I'm typesetting it at least three times. But its just
not building the list of figures.

However, if I run 'mklatex' on my source file it generates a 'foo.lof',
but doesn't actually populate the 'list of figures'! And 'mklatex'
doesn't finish either! But then I'm just learning how to actually use
it.

Thanks
Sharon.
