Has anyone out there gotten this to work?

So far, I've figured out:
	1. It doesn't return an error, it crashes if it fails.
	2. You have to validate that the application exists.
	   I guess you'd also use GetFInfo to make sure it's APPL.
But what I'm not sure of is:
	3. Do I have to set the WD to be the WD of the application?
	   Launch has a name parm but no vol/wd parm.
	4. What would it do with a complete path name?

Any advice would be appreciated.  My 6-line launcher is a page
and growing.
