function openCompWindow(compToOpen){
  var origWorkArea = CompToOpen.workAreaDuration;
//
  compToOpen.workAreaDuration = 0.1;
  // I should really change the line above to this:
  // compToOpen.workAreaDuration = 3 * compToOpen.frameDuration;
  // but I'm too lazy.
  // You need to multiply by 3 since a ram preview needs at least 2
  // frames, and I use 3 just as a buffer to ensure you don't
  // need to worry about any weird rounding off errors.
//
  compToOpen.ramPreviewTest("",1,"");
  compToOpen.workAreaDuration = origWorkArea;
}

This has been working for us for a good number of months of heavy daily usage. Yes, it's a hack, but man is it nice.

I sure hope Adobe doesn't munch this command in cs4. Unless it's to give us a REAL way to open the comp window.
