I thought I would share what I have so far. I wasn't able to figure out how to pass parameters like line numbers for already open files, but for my usage, it's not that important to me. The avoidance of the alert/lock and bringing forward the already open window/tab was key for me.
Maybe others are interested in this or can improve it. And maybe it is reasonable enough for inclusion into mainline? Script pasted below. Thanks, Eric -- Beginning iPhone Games Development http://playcontrol.net/iphonegamebook/ #!/bin/sh # # This shell script passes all its arguments to the binary inside the # MacVim.app application bundle.
