Howdy,

Don't really have a good reason for this behavior. Exactly how did you load the macro into TeXShop? Could you take a screen shot of the text of the Macro as seen in the window of Macro Editor? Just wondering if there is something that is making it go into an infinite loop or something.

Good Luck,
