I apologize for any confusion.  Path Finder told me I was the owner of
the folders in question, but that I did not have write permission.  The
Finder Get Info said that I had Read Only permission.  Giving myself
Read & Write permissions in the Finder has enabled me to save files in
TeXShop.

Hope this is clear
