That's good advice. I had no idea C-h k could capture incoming events
from the OS...

Priming C-h k and double clicking a file on the desktop points me toward
`ns-open-file-select-line' which is bound to <ns-open-file-line>. I
guess the latter is the incoming event.

The docstring also mentions `ns-input-file', which looks like it
contains the name of the file from the incoming event. The next time the
issue occurs, this will be one to watch.

Thanks.
