Herb,

Below is an Applescript that reveals the documentclass, to be used in  
TS. You have the subroutine setnamets.scpt.

tell application "TeXShop"
     get path of document of window 1
     set fileName to result
end tell

set scriptPath to (do shell script "dirname " & "~/Library/Flashmode/ 
Subroutines/ex")
set scriptPath to scriptPath & "/setnamets.scpt"
set scriptName to POSIX file scriptPath as alias
set scriptLiB to (load script scriptName)
tell scriptLiB
     set {baseName, texName, pdfName, namePath, dirName,  
dirNameunquoted, logName, logPath, rtfName} to setnamets(fileName)
end tell


set findString to "\\documentclass "


set foundboolean to "false"
try
     set shellScript to "cd " & dirName & ";"
     set shellScript to shellScript & "/usr/bin/egrep -w " &  
findString & " " & texName
     do shell script shellScript

     set foundText to result
     set foundboolean to "true"
end try
if foundboolean is equal to "true" then
     set n to (number of characters of contents of foundText)
     set i to 1 as number

     repeat while i < (n + 1)
         if character i of foundText is equal to "{" then
             set k to i
             exit repeat
         else
             set i to (i + 1)
         end if
     end repeat
     set i to k + 1 as number

     repeat while i < (n + 1)
         if character i of foundText is equal to "}" then
             set m to i
             exit repeat
         else
             set i to (i + 1)
         end if
     end repeat


     set className to (characters (k + 1) thru (m - 1) of foundText  
as string)
else
     beep
end if
