Hi Alan,

I am a complete novice with the terminal. I did as you suggested and got the message

/usr/local/texlive/2009/texmf-dist/tex/latex/beamer/beamer.cls
/usr/local/texlive/2009/texmf-dist/tex/latex/beamer-FUBerlin/FUbeamer.cls
/usr/local/texlive/2009/texmf-dist/tex/xelatex/bidi/bidibeamer.cls
/usr/local/texlive/2010/texmf-dist/tex/latex/beamer/beamer.cls
/usr/local/texlive/2010/texmf-dist/tex/latex/beamer-FUBerlin/FUbeamer.cls

Should I get rid of the 2009 version? how do I know what version of texlive TexShop is using?

Sorry for the stupid questions.
