[OS X TeX] applescript in TS

[Claus Gerhardt]

At the end of the script I erroneously commented the command

tell document texName1 of application "TeXShop"
	refreshtext
end tell

since I didn't paid attention why I added it some years ago. Please, uncomment this command otherwise the root file will be front after the script has run and not the slave file.

This causes a small delay in the execution of the script that can be annoying, especially if the script is meant to do something quick, like Claus' script that removes the red circle from the pdf. Wouldn't things be faster if that script stayed open during a TS session? I could not get ScriptRunner.app to stay open, though.
