But I do often need to do just a (pdf)latex run to check syntax, to proofread, etc.; so for that, when TeXShop gets finicky and freezes, as it sometimes does with my 600+ pages, I’ll have to resort to a Terminal command-line run of pdflatex.

It may even be related to the OS since it doesn't seem to be there under the Catalina beta. but the Catalina beta surely has lots of debugging code which may mask the problem there. E.g., the problem doesn't seem to be there when running in debugging mode under XCode.

Yes, understood!

I asked because I had looked at that pdf and saw that the "TEX parameter = -interaction=batchmode” was not listed there. So the question, then, is what others are there?
