[OS X TeX] Beamer - dinglist -color

[Christian Böhringer]

Thanks a lot Alan

Your instructions work just great. It's even much more flexible since I 
can mix the bullet marks within the same list. Just one more question: 
Why do the numbers for the mark characters change from 64 to 52 and 
from 67 to 55?
