I use this script for OS X:

    put "tell application " & quote & myAppName & quote & " to
activate" into tScript
    do tScript as AppleScript

myAppName is the name of the application bundle but without the .app extension.

This will launch the application if it isn't already running and can
be used for any OS X app e.g.
  tell application "TextEdit" to activate
