Package: whizzytex
Version: 1.3.0-3
Severity: normal

Currently, the whizzytex package does not support clicking in the advi
output window to jump to the corresponding location in the TeX document.
(advi needs to be called with the '-edit' option to enable this.  This
is a wishlist bug; should I file it seperately?)  In the course of
investigating this problem, I noticed that the configuration options
(e.g., VIEWCOMMAND, the relevant one for the problem above) are set at
least 3 different ways.  In the order in which they are set:

1) At the top of /usr/lib/whizzytex/whizzytex:

# Default LaTeX implementation
INITEX=""pdfetex -ini""
LATEX="latex"
FORMAT="latex"
FMT=fmt 
BIBTEX="bibtex"
...
VIEWCOMMAND=advi

2) From the command line option to that script.  When called from
emacs, this is set by the 'whizzy-viewers' variable.

3) From the configuration file /etc/whizzytex/whizzytex.conf (and
optionally the user's home directory).

Note that the configuration file is read _last_, after the command
line arguments.  This means that the command line argument is, in
fact, complete ignored.  This contradicts the usage message for the
shell script and the help for the whizzy-viewers variable.
