applescript & starting apps
Authored by: pecosbill on May 19, '04 10:36:08PM
activate will not only start an application, but it will also foreground it (or just foreground it if it is already running). I prefer using

tell application "MyApp"
 launch
end tell

which will start the app in the background and I can click on it when I see fit.
