Hello Eli:

I solved my problem after many makes. Thanks for your technical notes and
the -b switch tip.

What is the technical term for what I have been looking at while these make
compiles are going on?
Is it possible to pipe the thing to a text file (gasp) so that it can be
enjoyed later?

Once it went like this:

Wife: "What are you doing?
Me: "Compiling" ["making" might be misinterpreted]
What is that you are looking at on the screen?
Me: "The compile record" [I just made that up.]
Wife: "Have you lost your mind?
Me: "I promise not to make a sound when I come to bed."

I am serious about the piping idea because I want to do it with my own
masterpieces.
I realize that you would not be able to see the story as it unfolds, but
this could be overcome by making twice,  once on the screen and once piped
to a text file. Don't you keep a record of your important compiles?

Ralph
