Try to run the emacs executable inside Emacs.app directly and see if

that does anything different. As you noted earlier, your `emacs'

command in zsh is a zsh function -- try to run

/Applications/Emacs.app/path/to/emacs (don't remember the exact path but

hopefully you get the idea).



Each of the executables in my Emacs.app/Contents/MacOS directory:

When I click on them, bring up a Terminal shell, and then the GUI.  The 
terminal shell stays up while Emacs is running, only going away when I exit 
Emails.



But in no case can I get the behavior I want – an Emacs Dock icon, which, when 
I click brings up Emacs.
