Hi Erik,
Thanks for the quick reply!
My attachment was in .png which should be supported by the list .... I'm
resending it.
Yes, I knew by assigning it to an object, I can avoid this. But, I'm curious
to know what if I choose to do e.g. just latex(x), how can I get rid of the
error window. It actually worked for me once (i.e. I got Yap poped out to
preview the table I'm generating), but I had no idea what I did differently.

Your attachment did not come through, most likely because it

Well I can't directly help you with your issue, since I

As for what your
