[OS X TeX] "Save as"

["M. Tamer Özsu"]

In terminal, simply type

	chflags nohidden ~/Library

to make the library directory visible.

To use the ~/Library/TeXShop/Templates/ within Dropbox, do the following in Terminal (assuming you are in your home directory)

	ln -s ~/Library/TeXShop/Templates ~/Dropbox/Templates

This will create a symbolic link within your Dropbox folder/directory (which I am assuming is located at ~/Dropbox) and it will work on all the machines where you define this symbolic link. I do that myself.
