Brad,

Thanks a lot for your help! Although I am a total newbie with TextMate,
after some experiment I came up with the following script called "alttex",
which works like a charm (I'm posting it in case it may be of help to
someone else):

FILE="${TM_LATEX_MASTER:-$TM_FILEPATH}"
etex "$FILE" && dvips -t a4 "${FILE%.tex}.dvi" && ps2pdf "${FILE.tex}.ps"

Thanks a lot again,

Artemio
