[OS X TeX] Flashmode (optimized versions), TS, G5

[Claus Gerhardt]

Herb,

When Flashmode-TS-Scripts is started nothing happens, that is the 
intended and normal behaviour. Only when a button is pushed the 
corresponding action takes place, e.g., to start 'Flashmode' it will be 
sufficient, if a  tex document (with a proper path)  is front most in 
TS, to push the button 'run FlashmodeTS', then the document is typeset, 
Texniscope is given the order to open the pdf (and started, if 
necessary), and the document is henceforth under the control of the 
Flashmode copy. If, for whatever reason, the pdf window vanishes, or T. 
quits, modifying the tex document will bring them up again.
