[OS X TeX] TeXShop typesetting and macro questions

[Claus Gerhardt]

can be easily modified to open the draft's pdf file or to run  
pdflatex twice.

	get path of document of window 1
	set fileName to result
end tell
set scriptPath to (do shell script "dirname " & "~/Library/Flashmode/

	set {baseName, texName, pdfName, namePath, dirName, dirNameunquoted,  
logName, logPath, rtfName, docName} to setnametsn(fileName)
