[Ti] Speed up

[Pedro Vera]

OS X works in root-less mode, so whenever you modify a system file from a non-root account 
(even if your account is allowed to admin) you have to provide a password. bbedit has a unix 
command tool that allows you to call bbedit from the shell, that's why I can do:

%bbedit myfilename

in this case, since it is a protected file, I had to do:

%sudo bbedit myfilename

which made me enter my password before even allowing bbedit to open the file. Then when I 
saved, bbedit asked once again for the password.

Thanks,

Pedro Vera
