Hi again Umbraticus, Sorry for spamming you today. But I wanted to let you know your command works and I had made a typo implementing it. > > This solution has acme load up the dvi file to edit.

The final plumb command became, data matches '([a-zA-Z¡-�0-9_\-.,/]+)\.(dvi|DVI)' arg isfile $0 plumb start rc -c 'kertex/dvips -q '$wdir'/'$0' | page -w' My only addition to what you suggested was to run dvips with -q to suppress the stdout output. Thanks for the help today.
