My favorite way to do this is to add the following to an alias file that is sourced upon login:
alias pm '/Applications/MacPyMol.app/Contents/MacOS/MacPyMOL $*' With this approach, you can "cd" to any directory that contains a pdb file of interest, and type: pm filename.pdb Pymol launches, opens the pdb file, and uses the current directory.
