[OS X TeX] Coexisting TeX distributions and TeXShop .engine files

[Malcolm Ross]

I have two coexisting TeX distributions on my PowerBook G4. The TeX  
Distributions preference pane shows them as gwTeX-2003-2005 and  
TeXLive-2007, and the pane is switched to  TeXLive-2007. When I run  
LaTeX, the log shows that TeXLive-2007 is used, but when I run  
XeLaTeX, the log shows that teTeX (i.e. gwTeX) is used instead. I had  
expected TeXLive to be used in both cases, and I am struggling to  
understand why teTeX is used with XeLaTeX. Xe(La)TeX is present in  
both distributions.

The XeLaTeX.engine file reads:

#!/bin/tcsh

set path= ($path /usr/texbin /usr/local/bin)
xelatex  "$1"

I was under the impression that '/usr/texbin' should cause TeXShop to  
use the distribution selected in the preference pane. It seems I am  
wrong. Can anyone enlighten me as to why this might be happening and  
how I can fix things so that TeXLive-2007 is chosen in all cases?

Thank you.

Malcolm
