[OS X TeX] Problems with Bibdesk using elsart.cls

[Lisa Schweitzer]

Hi Maarten:

Thanks for your answer. It confirmed something I was beginning to 
suspect. I tried your suggestion this morning, and I can't even get the 
blistering thing to open natbib.bst.

The top-level auxiliary file: template-harv.aux
I couldn't open style file natbib.bst
---line 73 of file template-harv.aux
  : \bibstyle{natbib
  :                 }

I'm wondering if there isn't something wrong between the elsart class 
and the natbib.  Maybe I should haven't tried to fix this before 
coffee.

Lisa
