I am having problems getting this to work. I have configured TexShop to work
with an external editor. I open a .tex file in BBEdit and edit it. When I
switch to TeXShop window, it brings up an empty page (switching to it is by
means of choosing TexShop on Dragthing, but that is probably not relevant).
Clicking LaTeX button opens a window to save the empty document. If I close
that window, then all functions are grayed out. I am doing something wrong,
but could not figure out. Any help would be appreciated.

I wish BBEdit would have the possibility of integration with Latex systems
the way Alpha had in OS9. Short of that, I wish there was a script to do all
of this from within BBEdit.

Thanks.
