[OS X TeX] Some minor problems in TS

[Warren Nagourney]

Thanks. I notice that when one sets a root file with a chapter file  
on top, the program writes a file with the name <chapterfile>.texshop  
and this file contains only the name of the root file. It might be  
possible to just write my own .texshop files (or duplicate and rename  
the existing .texshop files). On the other hand, maybe using the %! 
TEX .... construction would be better.

cheers,

wn
