Title: OSX App Launch Fix

The applescript for launching a new Terminal on OSX to run julia is a little fragile. It may not actually run julia sometimes (seen on OSX 10.7.5 Lion with zsh as default shell)

The guaranteed way to ensure that julia does actually run is to spawn a new Terminal window manually and run the bash command `in front window`.

Tested on OSX 10.7.5 Lion.
