I should mention I am using XCode 2.5 under 10.5 so I cannot use the 10.5 SDK nor Obj-C 2.0.

Because you seem to still think this is Apple's fault, I've created a simple app which demonstrates what you are telling us you are trying to do: https://netfiles.uiuc.edu:443/sbutler1/www/Open%20An%20App.tar.gz The way I tested it is I copied TextEdit to my desktop. Then I renamed it TextEdit™, and went into the app bundle and renamed the executable TextEdit™. Then I typed this into the text box and hit return: /Users/me/Desktop/TextEdit™.app/Contents/MacOS/TextEdit™ Hit launch and TextEdit launched. Ergo, OS X has no problems with special characters in the path. Your issue is in your code.
