[OS X TeX] Powerdot slide orientation in MacTeX

This sound like the same problem I've been having.  Dick Koch sorted  
it out for me off-list.  It's evidently a miscommunication between  
Ghostscript and pdftex.  The fix I came up with is to open the .dvi  
that TeXShop makes in Skim.  The fix Dick came up with is to go to  
TeXShop's preferences and, under the Misc tab, change the Distiller  
from Ghostscript to Apple Distiller.

I like his fix better than mine.
