Fine! It works like a charm!

As to my other request (selecting a rectangle from the typeset window and dragging it to the desktop), I guess the alternative option of doing it by taking a screenshot takes exactly the same work. In TeXShop you choose the file type of the dragged rectangle in Preferences, while for the System screenshot this is PNG by default, but can be changed with Terminal commands, as explained in <http://guides.macrumors.com/Taking_Screenshots_in_Mac_OS_X>.

Thanks again, Michael,
