Best answered by Eric a few posts ago but, for the record, none of what you or 
Sebastian offered in terms of quoting worked, because the

        open -a

command requires the application name unquoted all by itself. And, if I try to 
call the app directly for example after

        cd /Applications

        FreeDiams.app

gives the complaint "no command found" which is explained by Eric's answer. On 
Mac, what appears to be a GUI application is not one file but a "package" 
containing e.g. the actual executables plus other resources.
