- I am successfully launching applications via LaunchApplication.
- The problem what I would really like to do is launch from a
- document not from the application file itself. I want to be able
- to do the equivalent of double-clicking a MSWord document and have it
- come up with that document open. I think I need something like
- LaunchApplicationwithOpenFile but I don't see this in IM Processes or
- IM Files (on CD). Getting the application name from the document file
- is probably not too hard but how do I get it to launch the app and open
- the file, too?
- thnx
