Good point, I was not aware of this variable. I changed the command  
to use it.

That should actually be:
"${TM_TSCOPE:=/Applications}"/TeXniscope.app/Contents/Resources/ 
forward-search.sh "$TM_LINE_NUMBER" "$TM_FILEPATH" "$PDF";

since not everyone has TM_TSCOPE set ;)

The help says: “If set this variable contains the path to the  
TeXniscope application. If not set it defaults to /Applications”

I think the path that it defaults to is a very good indicator of what  
it should be set to.
