Hello Andrew!

TeXShop has the option to use regular expressions, for example changing 
in a marked region ^ to % or `% today's date´ etc. So you can have 
versions of your text in the same file -- a much better concept would 
be, to have one *master* file that just contains something like:

\documentclass{book}
   \includeonly{chapter1}%, chapter2, chapter3, ...
\begin{document}
   \include{chapter1}
   \include{chapter2}
   \include{chapter3}
   ...
\end{document}

TeXShop needs a special header for that master file to recognise all 
inclusions and errors in them. The \includeonly allows you to optimise 
single files -- and you don't loose everything in case you do the 
unspeakable.
