Sorry to be confusing.  Path Finder told me that I was the owner of the
folders in question.  It also told me that I did not have write
permission.  The Finder Get Info said I had read only permission.  When
I changed (in the Finder) the permissions to Read & Write, I was able to
save files in TeXShop.
