Dear Rick,
I have written a very emacs-like editor that communicates well with =
TeXtures
via apple events. I can let you evaluate it if you are interested.
I am considering integrating it with Excalibur too, but I'm not sure
it's worth it:
what's wrong with just running Excalibur as a separate application?
Could you point me to a URL with the docs for word services?
Thanks.

Not much, imho.

Subject: TeXShop and RevTeX4
From: "James Owen"

I am struggling with RevTex 4 off the aps website. One issue is that
they want you to use a separate bibliography with the tex file, but when
you open a file with another extension than .tex, i.e. .bib, then all
the processing buttons are greyed out, including the one for bibtex,
which if I am reading the instructions correctly, you need to process
the .bib file, to attach the bibliography to the output file.
Am I confused about the purpose of the bibtex button, or does this need
to be fixed?
Or alternatively, can there be a space for entering commands manually,
rather than via menu?
I am also having trouble with texshop not finding all the revtex files
when I have stored them in the texmf tree where the instructions said I
should (texmf/latex/revtex4/*.sty for example). How do I do all the
'texhash' type commands to enable texshop or tetex to see all of the
tree?
Thanks for any help,
James

I had similar problems with a manpath command in my .cshrc. I `solved' =
them
by putting the offending command in the .login file.

the .bib file does not need to be processed, the .aux file yes.
If you open your .tex file, the bibtex button will be available, and it
will parse
the .aux file.
Where to put the bibliography is given by the BibTeX man page, but
TeXShop does not yet use the BIBINPUT environment variable.

Not a complete answer: if you put stuff in your local texmf tree, you
can avoid texhashing as long as you don't have thousands of files. In
that case, you should remove any ls-R file previously created. G Wierda
says the lost is not significant...
