What Amanda says almost always is sensible and well supported.
Only this time I have a mere question:

If you do a _Launch, you send the filename as argument, right ?
And while the _Launch-ed program runs, you can't rename it, right ?
So, if the program still runs - check for the name you _Launched in
the Apple menu (and pray to God that no DA has the same name ;-)

Now, how do you avoid the possibility that the user quits the
_Launch-ed application, and restarts it ? ... But that's maybe not
that big a chance (And I SUUUURE can tail-patch THIS trap - it SEEMS
so SAFE 8)
