No, what is reasonable (TeX-wise) is to add ~angus/doc/ to the BSTINPUTS environment variable. But then I am not writing your papers for you. What I am saying is that we should look for a scheme to provide resonable defaults. The user should always be able to modify the string by hand and override the clever guessing. JMarc
