Ah yes, I see, The gopen tool does open the application when used with the -a flag ... it was the documentation which was wrong in saying that it didn't. I've corrected the documentation to describe the actual behavior (after checking to confirm that -a does in fact work as on MacOS).

I just tested this...

open -a Interface\ Builder

opens Interface Builder.app on Mac OS 10.4.11.

open -a <applicationname>

should open the application. This is in accordance with how it works on OPENSTEP and on Mac OS X and it also used to work when I originally wrote gopen. :) So, in either case, it should work.

The gopen command is a tool for opening documents, not a tool for opening applications.
The command 'gopen -a Gorm' means that the document specified in the third (non-existent) argument shoud be opened using the application in the second argument (Gorm) ... it should not launch Gorm as no document was actually given for it to open.

So I changed this to be a 'change request' rather than a bug, as the current behavior is the expected (and documented) behavior, but the extension to allow gopen to be used to open applications seems a reasonable one.

The gopen tool is not properly opening applications.

Example:

1) make_services
2) gopen -a Gorm

RESULT: Gorm is not opened...
EXPECTED: Gorm should open.
