[OS X TeX] Opustex and TexShop on OSX

[Claus Gerhardt]

There seems to be several errors in the shell script.

For combining several shell scripts an Applescript  seems to be best  
suited. Try the one below. TeXShop's help section explains the use  
and syntax of shell and Applescripts and their interaction very  
detailed.

The Applescript assumes that opusflex is in
~/Library/TeXShop/bin/opusflex

You have to be sure that opusflex is called with a filename not  
ending in a suffix!

The Applescript only works when called from within TS as a macro. The  
shell script pdflatexc should be present.
