[OS X TeX] TeXShop and Metapost: labels can't be typesetted with LaTeX

[Franck Pastor]

Thanks again, it works well for Metapost this time. It seems that I  
need to delve further in the Applescript language, it comes in  
useful :-)

One last question (I promise!): how should I change the script if I  
want to make it work with mptopdf instead of metapost?
