gvim on mac OS X

I am a great fan of the "external editor" and I use it on my Windows machine. At this point, I have spent a day trying to get it to work on my mac (OS X). After browsing through everything posted here, I still was not able to use it.
QUESTION: I want to put the appropriate line in the "Preferences" of the external editor. I have tried many things, including:
/Applications/vim.app/Contents/MacOS/vim --nofork
open -a gvim
I can't get it to work. Ideally I do not want to go to my X11 system, but use the gvim GUI, which works great in the OSX environment.
I would appreciate any advice! Thanks. Cheers, Albert

Hi,
I found no way to launch gvim in a nofork way on osx.
vim launches correctly if you call it in the terminal:
~/Desktop/vim70/vim.app/Contents/MacOS/vim
But this does not open a new window.
I did not find how to have Terminal open a new window starting vim.
So I fallback on the only (currently, for me) working solution:
xterm -e ~/Desktop/vim70/vim.app/Contents/MacOS/vim
which you don't like either, as it requires X11.

Thanks a lot, Globs. I appreciate your help here. I will try to get it to work through X11 on my mac. Again, I really like this stuff. ---Albert
