[TxMt] modifying environmental variables for latex

[Dan Lussier]

Hi.

I'm new to using both latex and TextMate and am trying to modify the  
environmental variables that the pdftex engine sees when it is  
typesetting my document.

So far I have tried modifying my ~/.profile and /etc/profile to  
include modified $TEXINPUT, $BSTINPUT environmental variables without  
any luck.

I have also tried adding these variables to the environmental  
variables area of the general TextMate Preferences but no luck there  
either.

I have also tried to find out if I could possibly give the tex engine  
the information via a command similar to the way the master files are  
designated (i.e. %! variable = ....) but no luck there either.

Many thanks.

Dan
