Thanks for your responses, everybody. I carefully purged all
the TeTeX files, then installed TeXLive, and tested it out
on a couple of documents (on the way I noticed that a couple
of packages I use *all the time* (apacite and apa.cls) which
I'd previously had to find the source for were included in
the distribution! Good, good, good stuff.

So now that's one less thing to worry about later (whenever
TeTeX is removed in favor of TeXLive).

Thanks,
Amy
