[OS X TeX] Fixme question and favorite packages

[Jason Curole]

Lisa,

Have you recieved any info on how to use fixme?

I have in my macros the following commands:
\fixme{}
\fxnote{}
\fxwarning{}
\fxerror{}

You might try these.  I believe the \fixme{} command throws an error 
unless the file is a draft.

Best of luck, Jason
