this instruction is for *app.dmg files. If instead you downloaded a non-app 
version, i.e. in the case of Sage 7.3 it would be
sage-7.3-OSX_10.11.6-x86_64.dmg then just open Terminal application, cd to 
corresponding folder, and start ./sage at the command prompt. E.g. assuming 
at step 2) you put sage into Applications, in the Terminal you will need to 
type

$ cd /Applications/SageMath
$ ./sage

(note that '$' is the terminal prompt, you don't need to type it)
At the 1st run of ./sage you would have to wait for a while before you see 
'sage: '
subsequent runs will start much faster.

PS. this README needs to be fixed, indeed...
