Has anyone out there gotten this to work?
So far, I've figured out:
1. It doesn't return an error, it crashes if it fails.
2. You have to validate that the application exists.
I guess you'd also use GetFInfo to make sure it's APPL.
But what I'm not sure of is:
3. Do I have to set the WD to be the WD of the application?
Launch has a name parm but no vol/wd parm.
4. What would it do with a complete path name?
Any advice would be appreciated. My 6-line launcher is a page
and growing.
