[GRASS-user] new drag-n-drop mapset for Mac .app build

[William Kyngesburye]

It's now possible to drag a mapset folder to the Mac GRASS.app binary  
to have it open that mapset immediately on startup.  This is exactly  
the same as the commandline startup (which doesn't directly work with  
GRASS.app):

   grass63 /path/to/db/location/mapset

AND, the equivalent commandline startup for GRASS.app (so you don't  
need to type the full path to the grass.sh script or mess with your  
PATH) is:

   open -a "GRASS-6.3.app" /path/to/db/location/mapset

Note that this will open a new Terminal window, instead of running it  
in the current window.


In working this out, I also seem to have fixed the odd PPC problem  
where running grass-xterm-wrapper once made it impossible to run  
GRASS.app again until Terminal is quit (which meant GRASS also must  
be quit).
