My comment: in the doc section on TeXShop, it is mentioned that one should add
the line
%!TEX TS-program = sage
at the top of the document. I think the discussion should be changed to
something like
"Once the file `sage.engine' is placed in the `Engines' directory, TeXShop
should be restarted so that it recognizes the new engine. The engine is
invoked in one of two ways. The first is by selecting it in the pulldown menu
to the right of the "Typeset" button. The second is to put the following line
%!TEX TS-program = sage
with the first 12 lines at the beginning of the .tex file in question. Note
that, in this line, there must be exactly one space on either side of the "="."
Should I open a ticket?
Thanks!
