Summary: Wait for a new technote.

Before people go off and spend a lot of time implementing
_Launch in all their software, let me give you the 
following warning:

(The following is from a TechNote to be released the first
week of May or so)

"The interface to the Launch trap will change in the not-too-
distant future.  When that happens, programs which launch
other applications will break.  You should really only consider
doing this if you are implementing an integrated development
system"

The technote goes on to describe sublaunching, a new feature
of System 4.1.  This is the mechanism people should use
to launch applications from within their own.

I would advise people to wait the week or two for the
technote before implementing a lot of Launch code that
will have to be changed.
