Thanks Everyone,

I was silly enough to drill into an application bundle and .launch
the application INSIDE the bundle instead of the bundle itself.
This caused the terminal window to launch.

DOH!

A useful shell command on OS X is open, which when passed a file,
opens the file as if it had been double-clicked in the Finder.

Not sure if it's relevant, but I thought I'd throw it in there.
