yes, my question is once opened "successfully" does it actually work -
does it do the things it says in Help->Manual it does?

If it does, I suspect we are very close to a solution. Jeremiah just has
to figure out how to put an icon "Denemo" on your desktop that runs
denemo.sh on double clicking.

I'm referring to the folders created by Denemo when you start to use it.
Since you have had bad versions of Denemo starting and crashing these
may be a hindrance. However, if Denemo is working (as defined above)
then don't worry about seeking and destroying them.

For some versions of Mac the answer is no, there are bug reports

e.g 
https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?49461

 which you are helping to fix. The problem is that no-one creating the
program for Mac actually has a Mac to test on, so it is quite a
challenge to create it correctly.

Thank you for persisting!
