MACOPEN

MACOPEN can be used to open a file or directory outside MATLAB on Mac OSX

MACOPEN FILENAME opens the file or directory FILENAME using the OPEN terminal command. Similar to the WINOPEN windows function in MATLAB.

%
% macopen('/Applications')
% opens a new Finder window, showing the contents of your /Applications folder.
