There's no direct equivalent because Mac apps run in a single instance 
by default.

If you want to open a document use this:

on appleEvent theClass,theID
    if theClass is "aevt" and theID is "odoc" then
       request appleEvent data
       put it into theFiles
       if theFiles is not "not found" and theFiles is not empty then
          ## code to open theFiles
       end if
    else
       pass appleEvent
    end if
end appleEvent


If you want to emulate the Windows experience by having an app run in a 
separate process each time it's opened, there's a command line option 
for that (I can't recall what it is, but last time I looked it up it did 
take long).
