Being a Mac newbie I bought the machine about a month ago and are struggling to some extent.  I have trouble finding the correct settings.

I do not think TeXShop can handle that as far as I have seen up to now.  As to Lyx, I tried that one some years ago, I prefer a pure LaTeX setup.

Howdy,

If you need to set the path to some of the programs (most likely) the path will be /usr/texbin; e.g., the path to pdflatex would be /usr/texbin/pdflatex. The path to things like ps2pdf is /usr/local/bin so /usr/local/bin/ps2pdf.

Good Luck,
