Reduce App

[Mark Brethen]

Launching the app will run reduce in an X11 GUI. But you can also run reduce from the terminal, Texmacs, Emacs, etc. This requires the redcsl script which must be found in your $PATH or you have to issue the exec command with the full path each and every time.

There is also a script "redcsl" which must be stored adjacent to reduce.app. A command "redcsl" issued from terminal should open the GUI. If I move it then the Macports Application folder needs to be added to $PATH.
