1. I fixed the documentation to give the correct '-a' flag to open an application.
2. I fixed gopen to print the same error message as OSX when given a non-existent file name.
3. I changed NSAlert() to write the alert information as an NSLog() if it is called from a non-gui application ... avoids the ugly exception.

doh accidentally posted early,

anyhow under gopen.m revision 25758
gopen foo.app will launch the application

while the next revision 28104 the same arguments fails to launch the application, and causes an NSException when gopen attempts to run an NSAlertPanel in some NSWorkspace method.

in this file here it says:
http://www.gnu.org/software/gnustep/resources/documentation/Gorm.pdf

First you need
to start Gorm. You can either do this by doing ‘gopen Gorm.app’ from a command line
prompt, or you can invoke it from the Dock or from the workspace’s file viewer.

so this is a somewhat documented behavior of gopen..
