[Mac OS X TeX] Trying to get something Alpha-ish in Mac OS X

[Hemant K. Bhargava]

Jan -

The following question may be naive, but then I am just a simple TeX user 
who wants to get the most out of Alpha.

The "Atchange" script looks useful, but I'd like to be able to save files 
without always compiling too. What I'd like to do is to define other macros 
or menu items to call pdftex (or other tex commands). E.g., how do you set 
the Command-T macro to call tetex (or your favorite TeX program) rather 
than the default OzTeX?

Thanks

- Hemant
