[OS X TeX] MetaPost and TeXShop 3.36.2

[Richard Koch]

Andrea,

The binomial.mp file you included in a recent email typeset fine for
me and produced a Preview Window with two pages. The first shows two
triangles joined by a line at the top, and the second shows some trees.

Are you using the nv-metapost engine included in the latest versions of TeXShop?
If not, go to 

	~/Library/TeXShop/Engines/Inactive/MetaPostEngines-1.4.7

and activate the two engines in the Engines subfolder of this location.
