Platform Notes This verb is only implemented in the Mac OS version of Frontier.

Notes Typically, an application's verb table will include high-level verbs that correspond to all of the events that it supports, so scripts should not have to call the required verbs directly.

The application identified by appID must be running before this verb is sent.
