Does anyone know how to launch another application from your own code,
but have the launching application remain in the foreground?  _Launch
doesn't seem to want to do that.  This would be quite useful 'cause I
want to launch an app. designed to run in the background, and the user
shouldn't have to do anything to return to where they started.  (In
fact, they don't even need to know it's been done.)

Please respond via email; I'll summerize if there's interest.
