[OS X TeX] making an index (nomenclature)

[Nicolae Garleanu]

Hi Herb,
Here is how I solved my problem: I saved the file under a different name! Then it worked. (I also tried trashing all the files but the source with the original name, but that wasn’t enough.) While still confused, I don’t expect that I’ll be having problems from now on.
Thanks!
Nicolae
