I assume that by “window” you mean “Vim instance”, since in Vim parlance there
may be one or more (plit) windows within a tab but not the opposite. There are
also one or more tabs (or tab pages) in one “Vim screen” (or Vim instance) but
not the opposite.
I don't run a Mac, but in general to start Vim with three tab pages, one file
in each, you would invoke it as
vim -p file1.ext file2.ext file3.ext
This should work with any "vim flavour" such as vim, gvim, MacVim, etc. You may
want to vary it according to the peculiarities of MacOsX.
See ":help -p"
To open the file at a specific line, I expect that prefixing the filename with
+123 (for line 123), followed by a space, should work, but I haven't yet tested
it: so to open several files, each in its tab, and each at a specific line, you
could do
vim -p +123 file1.ext +456 file2.txt +789 file3.txt
but I haven't tested it.
See ":help +cmd"
In general, if you set the 'viminfo' option correctly, Vim will remember where
the cursor was in a given file when it was last used, and with the proper
autocommand (as in $VIMRUNTIME/vimrc.example.vim lines 73-79, so if you source
that from your vimrc you've got it) the file will be reopened at that same
position (or at line 1 if no position was remembered for the file).
Best regards,
Tony.
