Mac – emacs variable to “open with” in original frame

emacs

i have long used emacs, and have even long used emacs.app .

recently, i upgraded to 23.3, and i discovered that a couple of default behaviors changed. one in particular that annoys me now is that when i perform "Open with" to emacs (whether this is from another app that does this or from finder using the context menu), it no longer opens the file in the original frame, as i prefer, but in a new frame, which i find extremely annoying.

i have searched high-and-low for an appropriate variable to set in order to restore the original behavior, but i have not found it and i am not certain what it would be named. (i presume something with the word "frame" in the title, but a C-h a frame turns up a lot of alternatives, and C-h v TAB and search through the list of variables for the text "frame" also is highly ambiguous.

i would greatly appreciate help in customizing my emacs back to the way it was a week ago.
