Comment (by rob.edgerley@…):

 Hi, thanks for the reply!

 No, this doesn't really help. I don't see the advantage of launching kate
 via the terminal using:

 {{{
 /Applications/MacPorts/KDE4/kate.app/Contents/MacOS/kate
 }}}

 over the method I have already noted. i.e.

 {{{
 alias kate='open -a kate'
 }}}

 they both behave in the same, and both do not open the file I have
 specified to open. Your suggestion also seems to launch an additional
 terminal window.

 I simply want to launch kate using the terminal, as I already use it for
 most things. If it's not possible, it's ok, i'll just continue to use
 nedit.

 Thanks for taking the time to reply though!
