[OS X TeX] Updated LatexmkTeXShop.zip --- Was: TexShop Configuration

[S P Suresh]

Hi Herb,

I added the lines in my latexmkrc etc., and it works like a charm on  
documents using beamer (those using endnote as well!). Thanks for the  
prompt action. (I went off to sleep midway into our discussion. That  
should explain the delay in my reply.)

Cheers,
Suresh
