[OS X TeX] kpsewhich Applescript

[Claus Gerhardt]

Here is an Applescript for using kpsewhich without using the  
terminal. Notice that only those who installed there tex with the new  
MacTeX can use this script. The script uses the

/usr/local/texprograms/kpsewhich


As usual you can use the script from within TeXShop.
