There are a few wording changes and one additional sub-section about large documents and setting up root and subsidiary files so that TeXShop ``knows'' what file to compile and also allow for proper Source<->PDF synchronization.

Howdy,

Sync seems to work both ways here. Please restart TeXShop and try again when all the subsidiary files have the proper line in them. I don't even have to have the referenced subsidiary file open and when I Cmd-Click in the PDF the proper source file opens at the proper location. And, of course it also works Source->PDF.

Good Luck,
