[OS X TeX] Applescript sync for BBEdit-->TeXniscope

[Richard Seguin]

When I run this script from BBEdit, I get the error "Can't make 
<<script Applescript>> into a number".

Also, when I run pdflatex_special, I get this error message: 'Can't 
make <<class psxf>> 
"Users/richardseguin/Library/TeXShop/Scripts/setnamebbedit.scpt" of 
application "BBEdit" into a alias.'

These scripts are currently located in the BBEdit scripts folder. Is 
this right? What am I doing wrong?
