+@cindex @code{.mps} files and PDF
+It is posible for pdf@TeX{} to read MetaPost output directly; this is
+in contrast to general EPSF files, which have to be converted for use
+with PDF output. The easiest way is to name the MetaPost output files
+with the @code{.mps} extension. Then the @LaTeX{}
+@code{\includegraphics} command, for example, will be able to read

MetaPost can write output files, via the @code{write} primitive; this
opens a security hole. @xref{tex invocation}.
