[OS X TeX] Spotlight commands

[Rene Borgella]

Hello everyone!

I've noticed several folks posting recently re. 
Spotlight and working with it.  In the interest 
of helping all of you work with Spotlight (or 
simply turn it off/on), I gleaned the following 
Spotlight commands from the application CLIX 
<rixstep.com>.
