- I think that the _Launch command must be one of the greatest
- mysteries (sp?) of the pre-system 7 toolbox. Does anybody have any
- idea how to properly use this trap ? I've have a fair amount of
- success in using it, but have run into the difficulty that, under
- System 6, multifinder does not seem to use it at all. I've used the
- _Launch command successfully under system 6 running the finder, and
- under system 7, but have had no success under system 6 running multifinder.
- It does launch the application, but it does not behave as it should
- (it clears the screen and closes other background applications).
- Does anyone out there have any idea how system 6 multifinder
- launches an application, or know where I might seek this information ?
- I've seen several questions about the _Launch command posted, but
- there does not seem to be a wealth of information available. I am
- writing an INIT which will allow executing applications with a single
- key stroke (or key combination), and hope to make it available when
- (or if) I am able to finish it.
- Please do not respond to this message using Email, as this is not
- my account. It is a friends and I am just using it until my account
- comes up. I do not check the mail. Please respond on this newsgroup.

- Much Thanks,
