Bless you, sir, that's near perfect!

I'm actually now using:

  e () {
      "$EDITOR" -n "$@" || {
	  echo >&2 "Oops, that didn't work, let's try this:"
	  open -a /Applications/Aquamacs.app "$@"
      }
  }

.. which handles all cases well, except for a blather of messages in the (infrequent) case where Aquamacs needs a restart.
