Update osascript command to set alias name to Emacs.app #673

Closed gsingh93 closed 3 months ago

I'm not sure if the original behavior was intentional, but the osascript command in the post install message was creating a symlink called /Applications/Emacs instead of /Applications/Emacs.app, so I had to manually rename it after. I updated the command so it sets the alias name to Emacs.app.

(Disclaimer: I don't know AppleScript, I just asked ChatGPT)
