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

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

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.
