I am new to Mac OS X and TeXShop, and probably this is a dumb question,
but I am not capable of setting the typeset window (.pdf) of TeXShop to
landscape mode. When this window is active, the File/Page Setup... menu
item is dimmed. ...?? In the source window I can do a page setup, but it
doesn't make any difference for the typeset window. I can't see the full
spread of my landscape-set document (I manually set the dimensions of
the printed text in the document source).

All---
I've just downloaded the most recent teTeX from the TexShop page and
installed. But the version of pdftex seems to be the old one (14h) that
I thought had been replaced.
This is pdfTeX, Version 3.14159-14h-released-20010417 (Web2C 7.3.3.1)
(./Causation.tex{/usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.local/pdftex/config/pdftex.cf=
g}
LaTeX2e <2001/06/01>
Is this right? Or have I just lost track of version numbers somewhere
along the way?

I also upgraded my teTeX this morning, and here is what I get:
This is pdfTeX, Version 3.14159-1.00a-pretest-20010806 (Web2C 7.3.3.1)
Could you have two versions of pdfTeX on your disk? Did you ever install
fink?

You probably have another TeX distribution on your system (let me guess:
fink again?). The one I distribute is:
pdfTeX (Web2C 7.3.3.1) 3.14159-1.00a-pretest-20010806
If you want to be sure you have the right teTeX.dmg, load the one from
ftp://ftp.nluug.nl/pub/comp/macosx/tex-gs/teTeX.dmg
Furthermore, the latest TeXShop (1.13c) is immune for fink path
settings. If you have the same experience from TeXShop, than something
is really wrong and I would ask you to contact me so that we can find
out what it is.

PS. If you were running from a Terminal window, try
which pdftex
and it will tell you which one it will use.

Yep I have the latest one as well
macmurray2[mmurray]% pdftex
This is pdfTeX, Version 3.14159-1.00a-pretest-20010806 (Web2C 7.3.3.1)
**
Open terminal and do `where pdftex' -- see if there is more than
one. For example I have two gs's so if I do `where gs' I get
macmurray2[mmurray]% where gs
/sw/bin/gs
/usr/local/bin/gs
Did you download via the link to Richard Koch's page or Gerben
Wierda's. I did Gerben's.

Sorry for the fire alarm

I downloaded about an hour and a half ago from Richard Koch's page. I
don't run fink, so that is not the problem. I have just downloaded the
one from Gerben's page so I'll see how that goes and I am downloading to
another machine from Richard K.'s again to see if I get the same thing
as before. It may be that I downloaded before the replacement was
properly there.
Actually the installer that I have just now downloaded from Richard K's
site has a different installer interface than the one that I got before
so the earlier one must have been a previous version. I can only think
that I caught it at the wrong moment. (In the interim the site was
inaccessible). Everything seems to be ok.
Thanks for your responses
