I have tried a number of possibilities, but nothing seems to make a  
difference. If Genealogue is referenced from the engines menu, the log  
is blank, and if I use the %& mechanism, TeX complains of undefined  
macros.

 From the command line I get this:

10:33: Genealogy_Folder ~/Library/TeXShop/Engines/Genealogue.engine  
GeneTSTest2.tex
10:34: Genealogy_Folder cd ~/Library/TeXShop/Engines/

Hmmm...

I am at my wits' end...
