[OS X TeX] BBAutocomplete script for TeXShop (Working Version)

[Ramón M. Figueroa-Centeno]

Aloha,

Please disregard my last posting. I posted the wrong version. Sorry!

Here is an AppleScript to use BBAutoComplete
<http://c-command.com/bbautocomplete/> in the front most window of TeXShop.

It adds auto-completion for words already in the document and in the
system's dictionary (check BBAutoComplete's preferences). It fulfills a wish
for TeXShop posted in this list :)

It can be improved in, at least, one way: it could be written to follow
"\input" commands.

If any of you find bugs or have other suggestions please let me know.

Thanks,

Ramón
