[OS X TeX] %!TEX TS-program = tex

[Talal Al-Azem]

Hello,

Funny, because I just had that same problem today, only with putting  
%!Tex TS-program=xelatex. I didn't have a problem running the xelatex  
typesetting, but I did have a problem getting BibTex to work from  
within TexShop, and could figure out why...until it crossed my mind  
to erase that line from the preamble. So watch out for it not just in  
the TeX/LaTeX command, but also when running other elements as well.  
I think it's better to just have TeXShop (or whatever you use)  
default to a certain system, than to place those lines at the top,  
due to these side effects. Are there any situations where such a line  
should definitely be in the preamble?
