Okay, once given the helpful hint, I was able to decode what to do. Here are instructions for future Mac users.

If you want to change the color of the scribbles and you are on a Mac, you need to know two things: 1, where your iRexTools application is, and 2, where your iRex digital reader mounts.

So open up a terminal. In my case, my computer is called "carmina" and I put the iRexTools application binary on my Desktop. That means all the files for the application are placed here:

/Users/carmina/Desktop/iRexTools.app

Yours will not look the same, but you need to be able to find it in a terminal.

Likewise, my iRex digital reader mounts under /Volumes/IREX_DR.

So in a terminal, what I need to do is this:

cd /Volumes/IREX_DR/
/Users/carmina/Desktop/iRexTools.app/Contents/Resources/ism -color DarkGreen NotebookPaper\ 001.pdf

You will replace /Volumes/IREX DR/ with the place where your iRex mounts, /Users/carmina/Desktop/ with the location of your iRexTools application, and NotebookPaper\ 001.pdf with the name of the file you want to merge.

Instead of "DarkGreen" you can use any number of colors; you can find a list of the colors you can use by typing "showRGB" at the prompt.

Thanks for such a great application!
