That's weird because in my script I use the Unix path of "/tmp" and not
the Mac path of "Hard Drive:private:tmp".

That's even weirder. Maybe something went wrong when you pasted the
script into the macro editor? I suggest you get back to my original
mail, copy the script from there and paste it directly into the macro
editor. And before you do that please check that you have a new version
of TeXShop. I wrote and tested this with TeXShop 1.34.

Maybe it should, but I just overwrite them everytime the script runs.
As I was saying in my mail when I posted the script, it's fast enough
for me, so I didn't bother to try and optimize it. One obvious step
would have been to check, wether citekeys and citekeys.bst were already
in /tmp. Maybe I should try to incorporate that check. Anyways, all the
files that reside in /tmp will be deleted the next time the computer is
restarted that's why I chose that directory for the temporary files.

Thanks must go to Will because without his scripts I wouldn't have been
able to do this.
Ciao, Thomas
