Command Line Arguments

I am a newbie when it comes to Cocoa programming, and am currently
trying to figure out how command line arguments are passed to my
program.

I have a program that I am trying to associate with a specific file
type, and when I double click an associated file in Finder, I want my
program to launch and do something with the file. When I attempt to
read from argv I find something like "-psn_0_100401153" where I am use
to expecting passed arguments. All I want is the path to the passed
file. For example if I were to double click on "Test.file" on my
Desktop, I would want the string "/Users/Jason/Desktop/Test.file".

I thought that I was suppose to use NSProcessInfo to accomplish this
goal, but all the "arguments" method accomplishes is getting me the
same "-psn_0_100401153" string that I was able to get from directly
accessing argv within main.

Any help would be wonderful.

-Thanks, Jason
