Well, you shouldn't ever launch a NeXTstep application directly from the  
command line. Instead use open(1) from the command line to use the window  
server to do it.

Some time ago I hacked my version of Emacs to (among other things) accept the  
openFile message. This allows you to open files in a running Emacs with 'open  
-a Emacs <filename>' or even to set the Workspace DefaultOpenApp to Emacs so  
that you can just double click on any file and it will come up in Emacs instead  
of Edit.
