Thanks for the quick response. That is kindof a bummer. I see you put a request into Apple on several occasions. Too bad they aren't giving it much thought. I got so excited when I saw Skim and thought I could do all of my paper writing without X11 running, but I use the forward and reverse search so much that I think I'll just have to wait until Apple solves their side of the problem. I will stay subscribed to the mailing list; would it be too much to ask that you post to the Users list if Apple ever gets this worked out?
Thanks for your work on a great OSX Open Source project.
