David, well you won't get very far that way. If you want to do things on the
command line you can do the following:
1) Download the zip file
2) Unzip the archive and either launch the web2py.app from the finder or
use 'open <path to web2py.app>' on the command line
( This should be done once to initialize your instance and put certain
things in order. )
3) cd to <path to web2py.app>/Contents/Resources/applications
4) do 'cp -Rp ./welcome ./<your app name>'
5) cd to ./<your app name>
6) edit to your delight
7) profit
web2py doesn't look in ''the web2py root'' for apps to run. If you want your
app to be the default app run for a particular instance of web2py you can link
it to ./applications/init.
I hope that was helpful
