| Syntax |
app.start (appName)
|
| Params |
appName is the name of an application that has a table of glue scripts installed in the Frontier object database.
|
| Action |
Launches the application if it isn't running. All subsequent app.xxx verbs apply to this application.
|
| Returns |
True if the application is running and ready to receive Apple Events, false otherwise.
|

|
| Notes |
Call app.bringToFront after calling app.start to make the application the new frontmost app. app.start is very quick if the application is already running. By convention, the application table is at object database location system.verbs.apps.[appName]. The first time app.start or app.startWithDocument launches the application the user is prompted for the location of the application. Each subsequent time, unless the file has been moved or deleted, the launch takes place without any user interaction.
