 From the Transcript Dictionary entry for the launch command, v2.2:

    When the launch command executes, the application being
    launched comes to the foreground. When the user quits,
    Revolution comes to the foreground.

    If the application is already running, the launch command
    does nothing, and "Process is already open." is placed in
    the result function.


Tuviah is rarely mistaken when it comes to Transcript.  He writes the 
engine that drives it. :)
