You are trying to implement something called "Sublaunching". Sublauncing
is generally frowned upon these days, what with MultiFinder and all that,
but if you really, really want to do it, check out Tech Note 126, which 
documents the means to do just what you want. There is also some stuff
to read in Tech Note 205.
