[OS X TeX] iTeXMac icons and TeXShop

[Bruce D'Arcus]

I am going to SCREAM!!!  I thought your suggestion worked Michael, but 
it didn't.  I have tried everything, and nothing solves the problem 
(deleting the LS pref files not once, but like five times, and deleting 
every possible file associated with iTeXMac).

Any suggestions on where the problem lies?  Is there something about how 
TeXShop writes files that would leave it prone to this?  I note that the 
files in question have the following creator codes:  TeXs 54 65 58 73.  
The type code is TEXT 54 45 58 54.

Or is my system just completely screwed up?  Or is it likely some 
strange thing that iTeXMac did to my system that is completely opaque to 
me?
