That's good news.  A further note on BibDesk:  you can use its "Open 
Using Filter..." menu item to import files from Web of Science directly 
into BibDesk using isi2xml or other shell commands.

You'll get a standard open panel with a text field labeled "Filter 
Shell Command" near the bottom; in the text field, enter 
'/usr/local/bin/isi2xml | /usr/local/bin/xml2bib' (no quotes, and 
substitute /usr/local/bin/* for the paths on your system).  Select your 
isi file, and click the "Open" button.

I'm copying the bibdesk-users mailing list on this, since this feature 
is apparently undocumented, although it's been part of the program for 
years.

hth,
Adam
