[OS X TeX] TeXShop manual on editing

Tue Apr 20 14:17:42 EDT 2021

Hi Michael,

This seems too complicated to me, for not so many occasions of typesetting.

In any case, thanks!

I hope that Aquamacs gets updated, and also with the necessary  options for
pstricks and ghostscript transparency, to the typesetting engines for:
latex > dvips > ps2pdf

Best Regards,
Roussanka
