If you read my post again, notice that I am talking strictly about the
situation where TeXShop is configured for external editor.  This means that
the source is not going to be shown in TeXShop at all --- the source is
typically already open in your favourite editor.  What we want is really to
have it tex'ed...

Abraço,
Joachim.
