What I do (also OS X) is to put older versions in a separate folder inside the Applications folder. The folder is named Mathematica8 (etc.), and this way I don't have to touch the app itself. The OS knows what to do. So far, double clicking on a notebook file opens the latest version. george On Dec 3, 2012, at 4:02 AM, Andrzej Kozlowski <akozlowski at gmail.com> wrote: > There is no need for any such option. > > I have Mathematica 6,7,8 and now 9 installed on the same MacBook Pro. > They all work without any problems at all.
