All this assumes you've installed MacTeX-2015. If you haven't or want more information go to <http://www.tug.org/mactex/elcapitan.html>.

Herb,

It appears to be hard coded. This is what I wrote in a previous post:

I won’t install El Capitan for at least two more days, so I don’t know yet if this will work, but I suspect it will. I haven’t looked at Sneep’s typeset scripts to see what might need to be changed there. At the moment the only script by Sneep that I’m using is his source-to-pdf synchronization script, which shouldn’t be affected by El Capitan at all. I’ll let you know how it works out, but like I indicated, it could be a number of days, but hopefully by this weekend sometime. I don’t even know if Grigg or Sneep are still maintaining their scripts.
