On my Linux box, I have created a directory ${HOME}/texmf/tex in which I
can place any macro files that I use on a regular basis, and tetex is
configured to automatically looks in that directory when searching for
macro files.

Is the latex installation on UW servers configured to allow users to do
this? If so, what do I need to name the directory?


Thanks.

Yes, if you set the environment variable TEXINPUTS to
something like

setenv TEXINPUTS ${HOME}/dedehann/mytexstuff///:

the : tell it to continue looking into system locations and the extra // says
look recursively into the subdirectories of ${HOME}/dedehann/mytexstuff/
