One thing that should be noted is that OSX will accept things on the

think this works on GNUstep.
It doesn't happen automatically on GNUstep ... that would
presumably need some support in NSApplication to look through the
command line for file names, and try to open each one.
Unless it is just left up to the individual application to support
it ... in which case it *would* work on GNUstep if you ported an
app which happens to open its command line arguments.
Certainly not all applications on OSX will open command line
arguments as documents (I just tried TextEdit which does, and
MuseScore which doesn't) but that might just be because some apps
don't support the standard mechanisms for opening documents (eg.
this feature might only work for apps using NSDocumentController).
From Apple's (older) AppKit release notes (in the Section Changes
between OpenStep 4.0 and OpenStep 4.1,
see http://developer.apple.com/mac/library/releasenotes/cocoa/
AppKitOlderNotes.html#OpenStepNotes):
NSApplication: ... In addition, all command-line options that are
not defaults options (meaning
a pair of arguments where the first one starts with a "-") are now
treated as file names to be
opened, as if they were prefixed with -NSOpen.
So it is not specific to document based applications (which did not
exist at that time anyway).
