Open the Terminal app - it's in your Applications/Utilities folder
Change to the location of your BOINC Files. Mine for example are all in Users/Me/BOINC, so I change to the BOINC folder by typing CD BOINC and hitting return.
Then give the command to start BOINC running: ./Boinc* and hit return (that's a dot slash Boinc asterisk)

This requires reentering the URL and account key each time. Surely there is a way to automate this?
It shouldn't. the first time you enter them a file account*.xml is created which contains the data and should be read on subsequent starts. Eric's installer has a tool that starts boinc after rebooted (actually, I think, after login). Take a look at the FAQ to get it.
Hi , Unix people don't understand user utility and convenience, they think X11 is a solid user interface. For the Mac philosophy applied to this problem try out:-
It is a manager for Boinc type projects. It has the option to start processing when run from the startup list in you user account startup application tab. It runs as a right screen menu item so it does not take dock space and it is handy when you want to check how it is progressing.
