Chipp, 

I assume this is on Windows, right? ('Cause I tested it on Mac and it
works fine and brings the process to the front).

I have a VBScript that will do it:

(put this into a text file with a .vbs extension and run it with shell()
from within Rev):

  set WshShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
  WshShell.AppActivate "IBM United States"

Have fun!
