It probably needs to run from inside the .app folder. OS X uses the full path to the binary to figure out the name to use to dispatch events, or something similarly odd! I've tried a couple of quick experiments along the lines of $ /Applications/Racket v5.1.3/DrRacket.app/Contents/MacOS/DrRacket -W info -l- drracket but that binary doesn't like the -W switch. [...] Aha, removing the DrRacket binary from the Contents/MacOS directory and symlinking plain racket there as DrRacket instead works for me: $ mv DrRacket DrRacket.moved-out-of-the-way $ ln -s /Applications/Racket\ v5.1.3/bin/racket DrRacket $ /Applications/Racket v5.1.3/DrRacket.app/Contents/MacOS/DrRacket -W info -l- drracket I launch that all from an xterm in X11, though, so if it doesn't work for you that's an interesting clue that Terminal.app is doing something weird perhaps.
