Davy, thank you so much.

I got this error:

Unpacking leo (from leo_5.0-1_Fink.deb) ...
/sw/bin/dpkg-deb: file `leo_5.0-1_Fink.deb' contains ununderstood data
member data.tar.xz     , giving up
dpkg(49543,0x7fff7e7fe300) malloc: *** error for object
0x7fff58a53d90: pointer being freed was not allocated
*** set a breakpoint in malloc_error_break to debug

I'll follow up on mime and desktop launchers, as I don't know yet.  A
little worried because I already have a problem (unrelated to this)
where if I try to "Open with" and click on "always open with" my
system doesn't register that file association.

I think the main deal with most installs on Mac OSX is to put the app
in /Applications .   For fink, in /sw/Applications or /sw/bin

Installation packages (other than fink and its apt-get approach)
literally have the style of an archive that you open with an
application folder and a virtual link to the system /Application
directory in it, and the install instructions are simply to drag the
application icon to the /Application directory.

That generally just puts the app in a standard location in the Apple
Finder app, where most apps are launched from (other than the fink
apps which launch from a bash prompt).  One can drag from there to the
desktop if one wants a desktop launcher, or into the popup application
launcher at the bottom of the Mac OSX desktop interface.  This is
standard for Mac apps, and you don't get a lot of desktop launchers
from installing apps.

Other apps do have an installation app that you double click on in the
archive that behaves much like say a .msi install.

Given how fink apps generally work on Mac, maybe you don't need to
bother with Desktop launchers, just apt-get and then one just types
"leo" at the bash prompt.

So I will follow up after searching for instructions on creating a
"shortcut" icon for a fink app and how to set mime file associations.
