tell application "TeXShop"
         get path of document of window 1
         set fileName to result
     end tell
     set scriptPath to (do shell script "dirname " & "~/Library/ 
Flashmode/Subroutines/ex")
     set scriptPath to scriptPath & "/setnamets.scpt"
     set scriptName to POSIX file scriptPath as alias
     set scriptLiB to (load script scriptName)
     tell scriptLiB
         set {baseName, texName, pdfName, namePath, dirName,  
dirNameunquoted, logName, logPath, rtfName} to setnamets(fileName)
     end tell



set shellScript to "cd " & dirName & ";"
set shellScript to shellScript & "~/Library/TeXShop/bin/latexdbi  " &
