open file with application

[François Chaplais]

err, forgive me if this a faq, but is there a way to to an "open 
filename with application" as in hypercard?
here is the doc

open application
open fileName with application
The open command launches another application program or opens a 
document with another application from within HyperCard. You must 
provide the full path names for the files if they’re not at the same 
directory level as HyperCard.
Under the Finder in System 6, HyperCard sends the suspend system 
message to the current card before turning over control to the 
application.
If HyperCard can’t find the document or application, it displays a 
directory dialog box and asks the user to find it. HyperCard also sets 
the result to Cancel if the user clicks Cancel in the dialog box. 
Otherwise, it sets the result to empty.
If HyperCard has problems opening the specified application (for 
example, there’s not enough memory), it sets the result to "Couldn't 
open that application."
