| Notes |
If you have moved your copy of the uBASE application, ubase.launch will present a Standard File dialog asking the user to locate the program. If uBASE is already running, this verb is fast. Ordinarily you would just use ubase.launch without first checking with ubase.isRunning (). If your script sends Apple events to more than one application, you should be sure to switch between them using verbs like ubase.launch, as some scripts need certain values set up.
