[TxMt] LaTeX Bundle question

[Geoff Vallis]

Brad

Following up with a slightly more explicit description. My bundle(s)  
works, but not elegantly or well. I have a short script call  
dvisync.sh that looks like the following:


#!/bin/tcsh
/usr/texbin/xdvi -sourceposition $1$2 $3



and then I have two(!) bundles, called dvisync1 and dvisync2 that look  
like:

/pathto/dvisync.sh $TM_LINE_NUMBER $TM_FILEPATH ${TM_FILEPATH%.tex}.dvi

and

/pathto/dvisync.sh $TM_LINE_NUMBER $TM_FILEPATH ${TM_LATEX_MASTER%.tex}


The first works if and only if there is no master file, and the second  
works if and only if there is one. I can't seem to get a single bundle  
to work in both cases, and also TextMate doesn't seem to reset the  
master file correctly all the time when I change the files I am editing.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Geoff
