Wow, the hack works wonderfully. This would be good to add on the wiki. As for the script, I am not very fluent with these things. I wasn't sure where and how to save it, to make it executable, etc. I did some googling, then I wrote the script using nano, saved it as foo.command, then did a chmod +x foo.command, but all this to no avail. from Skim I get no response. From teh command line foo or foo.command reports "command not found".
