I don't know about OS X < 10.6, but over here 'man open' gives
[...]
-W Causes open to wait until the applications it opens
(or that were already open) have exited. [...]
And 'open -a MacVim -W file.txt' in fact gives focus to running MacVim
instance and opens 'file.txt' in a new tab. After quitting MacVim terminal
(iTerm) prompt returns to 'input state'.
That's not making any statement about "focus returning", sure.
Having MacVim opened ':!open -a TextEdit -W %' opens current file in TextEdit
and waits until TextEdit is closed. Sure, this example is quiet silly, but for
demonstration purposes it seemed to be good enough to me :-)
