[texshop] TeXShop 4.34

[Richard Koch]

Bruno,

I got a note from UO mail services that their mail code failed this morning. Not the best day for me,
That's why I sent a second copy of the mail, which apparently got out.

I recomment those default values if they are set on a machine. But on your machine, none are
set. For two of them, the default value is as indicated in your message.

The one item that should be changed is

	defaults write TeXShop UseTerminationHandler YES

It is NO by default in 4.34, but will be YES when this version is released. This assumes that you are running Sierra or later.

We don't want to "work around" this error; instead we want to "get rid" of the error. This preference setting says to avoid the work around, and just see if the error is reduced or eliminated.
