Until yesterday.  Using this old macosxhints.com forum thread as the base, updated and modified to behave properly, double clicking a text file now opens it in vi in a new tab in Terminal, opening Terminal if it’s not already (which is rare, as I usually have 4 or 5 tabs open all the time).And here it is…  Please let me know if it can be improved in any way. 

on open inputfile

ignoring application responses

tell application “Terminal”

activate

tell application “System Events” to tell process “Terminal” to keystroke “t” using command down

do script “vi “ & quoted form of POSIX path of inputfile in selected tab of the front window

end tell

end ignoring

end open

Yum.
