hmm, this is pretty interesting.
Now I am wondering... It maybe conceivable to create a folder action
script so that simply "Opening" the Mapset folder will launch your
GRASS.app with it's path.
So did you use an applescript or some such? Is this new
functionality built into a newer build of GRASS.app on your site?
Do you mind sharing the source of this trick, just out of curiousity,
Thank you!

It's now possible to drag a mapset folder to the Mac GRASS.app
binary to have it open that mapset immediately on startup. This is
exactly the same as the commandline startup (which doesn't directly
work with GRASS.app):
grass63 /path/to/db/location/mapset
AND, the equivalent commandline startup for GRASS.app (so you don't
need to type the full path to the grass.sh script or mess with your
PATH) is:
open -a "GRASS-6.3.app" /path/to/db/location/mapset
Note that this will open a new Terminal window, instead of running
it in the current window.
In working this out, I also seem to have fixed the odd PPC problem
where running grass-xterm-wrapper once made it impossible to run
GRASS.app again until Terminal is quit (which meant GRASS also must
be quit).
