I don't know how to do it from Orca/C, but the procedure should be
very similar to doing it from assembly, since it's just a GS/OS call.
Use the QuitGS call with a pcount of 1 and a pointer to the GS/OS
class 1 pathname of the application you want to launch. GS/OS class 1
pathnames have a length word in front of them instead of a length
byte...

Hope this helps!
