Traditionally, on a mac, if you want to open an application from the terminal you can do so as open -a Vim This assumes your application is in one of the "regular" locations such as /Applications or /Applications/Utilities. If your gvim is in Applications the above command should work. You can also pass a filename to it if you want to open a particular file such as open -a Vim myfilename Hope this helps. Jeremy
