Good point - I'll make a switch for turning off the last (and first)
step selectively. (There'll be a new release of TeXPower before May -
I promise - which should include this switch for tplists. When I first
add such a setup is there any thing else that should be easily
changable through a switch (for tplists)?)

I'm sorry, but I don't follow and I don't have time to track down what
I have posted to you/the mailing list earlier. Could you post an
example (containing my method that worked so I can adapt it to the 
new situation).
