Thanks for the help, Jeff. This seems to do the trick. I'd like to see 
something for TeXShop similar to the old TeXTools plugin or the 
BBEdit&OzTeX plugin, but I don't find the source for the TeXTools 
plugin. I've got the source (C++) for the OzTeX plugin, and though I 
don't know C, I think that I understand what's going on there (it's 
pretty well documented). Maybe I'll take some of my semester break and 
try to modify the plugin to work for TeXShop.  In the meantime, at 
least I don't have to cut and paste my documents from BBEdit to TeXShop 
now! ;-)

Later,
