If you have the above preference set it is enough to simply use: open -a MacVim.app filename1 filename2 etc. If you have several windows open and want to specify which one to open a file in you need to use the --remote and --servername arguments to the "mvim" script (see ":h mvim"), e.g. mvim --servername VIM --remote filename (The server name can be gleaned from the window title.)
