What is the real name of this glossary file? Including all  
extensions. Does it end in ``.tex´´?

The bfname statement removes the extension ``.tex´´ from the file's  
name – if its (last) extension is ``.tex´´. If its (last) extension  
is not ``.tex´´, then the string contained in $bfname is the file's  
complete and unchanged name.

Finally bibtex is run on <file name>.gls – where does this file come  
from? From treatment in BibDesk? What is its complete name? Is the  
BibDesk output file then opened in TeXShop and the engine above run  
on it? Or is the engine run on the file before the engine's output is  
transferred to BibDesk for a (final?) treatment? This all is such a  
big mystery to me that I really would like to see some real names.  
OmniGraffle allows to draw a flow chart – just in case all else  
fails ...


Could you please fill in!
=========================

Real LaTeX file's name in TeXShop: ……………………………………………………………………………………

Real "bib file's" name from BibDesk: ………………………………………………………………………………

Real final DVI or PDF file: ………………………………………………………………………………………………………
