Shell or Launch or HELP!!!!

[Thomas J McGrath III]

Ok so here is my progress

I put in an "if there is a file" and get "File Found" and still no 
good. I tried Launch and get shell as in documents and nothing in OSX. 
But if I double click  the file in OSX it launches VirtualPC(or brings 
to front if open).

Any help is great.

on MouseUp
   --get shell ("OPEN=ShellExe.exe ClickMe.bat")
   if the environment is "Win32" then -- we are in Windows
     try
       get shell ("start ShellExe.exe")
     catch lerror
       beep
     end try
   else -- we are in OSX
     try
       --launch "/media/Demos/demos/PCPF109.exe"
       --get shell ("/media/Demos/demos/PCPF109.exe")
       --get shell ("/Applications/Microsoft Office X/Microsoft 
PowerPoint")
       if there is a file "media/Demos/demos/PCPF109.exe"
       then
         	answer "File Found"
        	launch ("media/Demos/demos/PCPF109.exe")
	get shell ("media/Demos/demos/PCPF109.exe")
	get shell (binfile: "media/Demos/demos/PCPF109.exe")
       else
         beep
         answer "The file was not found."
       end if
     catch lerror
       beep
     end try
   end if
end MouseUp
