Problem solved (by Johnathan Burchill). The External inset in the 1.4 series is getting _really_ powerful ;-) This works, it's based on \includegraphics[draft] from graphics/graphics.sty: <preamble> \def\stripprefix#1>{} \newcommand*{\xfiginput}[1]{% \edef\tempfilename{#1}% \InputIfFileExists{#1}{}{% \fbox{Could not find \ttfamily\expandafter\stripprefix\meaning\tempfilename !}}} </preamble> -- Angus
