Here is a script that doesn't need BBEdit. It is very fast, you won't  
notice the opening and closing of the corresponding file.

(*This script pastes  the text in the file "~/Documents/fileName"  
into the front most document in TeXShop at the position of cursor.   
Enable access for assistive devices in "Universal Access" has to be  
checked in the System Preferences.*)


--on paste()
set fileName to "myName" --enter fileName

set scriptPath to (do shell script "dirname " & "~/Documents/ex")
set scriptPath to scriptPath & "/" & fileName
set theFile to scriptPath as POSIX file
