It doesn't happen automatically on GNUstep ... that would presumably need some 
support in NSApplication to look through the command line for file names, and 
try to open each one.

Unless it is just left up to the individual application to support it ... in 
which case it *would* work on GNUstep if you ported an app which happens to 
open its command line arguments.

Certainly not all applications on OSX will open command line arguments as 
documents (I just tried TextEdit which does, and MuseScore which doesn't)  but 
that might just be because some apps don't support the standard mechanisms for 
opening documents (eg. this feature might only work for apps using 
NSDocumentController).
