// Name    : LaunchApp
// Purpose : Launch external application
// Requires: AP v1.5.1 or above
// Author  : Robin Lauryssen-Mitchell
// Date    : 31st July 2006
// Version : 1.0
// Status  : Production
// History : 20060801 - 0.1 - Internal testing only
//           20060801 - 1.0 - Production release
// Notes   : Intended to launch editors that do not accept file name arguments
//           that contain spaces gracefully even when enclosed in ""
//           (example PSPad).
//
//           IMPORTANT: YOU MUST HAVE THE FILE TYPE ASSOCIATED WITH THE EDITOR
//                      OR OTHER APPLICATION YOU INTEND TO LAUNCH.
//
//           Personally I use this to edit a script that can be run from the
//           script menu.  That way the Scripts dialogue does not need to be
//           open.  This reduces the possibilty for confusion about which editor
//           should be used.  Of course this script should also be run from the
//           Scipt menu.  When used with an editor application I like to rename
//           the script with the name of the application (e.g. PSPad)
//
//           ASIDE: PSPad is rapidly becoming my free script editor of choice.
//                  See http://www.pspad.com for more information.
//                  I wonder if the author being Czech has anything to do with
//                  my liking this application :-D
//
//           Launch seems to remember where the last file was selected from.
//           This makes it a little more user friendly that GetFilePath (IMHO).
