Hello,

I'm using TextMate a lot for Latex - it a great editor and bundle for that. I have one question:

How can I open a terminal, or go to a pre-existing terminal window, from TextMate, and then run a given shell script in the terminal, in particular a shell script that would typeset the master document?

One reason I want to do this is that the latex bundle seems to typeset in nonstop mode. If there is an error, it highlights it but keeps on running if possible. This is not always optimal, as one would sometimes like to be able to press the 'h' key and see what help TeX can offer in finding the error. One could do this easily from a terminal, and it would be nice to call this with a keystroke from TextMate. It is presumably possible to modify the LaTeX bundle to do this from the console - and perhaps this is already doable but I don't know? But in any case, I'd still like to be able to open a terminal window as above.

Thanks Geoff Vallis
