[R] Running LaTeX dvi previewer on MacOS X

Several people have given great advice on how to successfully use X11 on 
Mac to so we can use the dvi previewer to view latex() output from 
Hmisc.  Now after a version upgrade of X11 and X11sdk we are getting 
lots of crashes.  I noticed a Mac dvi previewer with an executable 
stored as /Applications/TeX/TeXShop.app/Contents/MacOS/TeXShop

Can we bypass X11 problems and point Hmisc to this executable for dvi 
viewing?

Thanks
Frank
