[OS X TeX] Flashmode 1.1.1

[Claus Gerhardt]

In case you miss a button for a particular script you may tell me. 
Unfortunately, I don't know (yet) how to design the interface of  
'Flashmode-Scripts' so that user definable scripts could be added, but 
there might be someone knowledgable listening.
