Activates an application window.AppActivate title[, wait]
The AppActivate statement changes the focus to the named application or window, but does not affect whether it is maximized or minimized. Focus moves from the activated application window when the user takes some action to change the focus or close the window. Use the Shell function to start an application and set the window style.
In determining which application to activate, title is compared to the title string of each running application. If there is no exact match, any application whose title string begins with title is activated. If there is more than one instance of the application named by title, one instance is arbitrarily activated.
