open file with application

[Eric Chatonet]

Hi Richmond,

Just a quick clarification :-)
Open process and Launch are not the same:

Launch acts as if the user double clicked the app or a file related  
to the app.
There is no relation between the Rev app and this application.

On the other hand, Open Process is related to the Rev App as a  
process it needs then:
1. This process (running app) will be automatically closed if the  
calling app (Rev one) is closed.
2. Both processes may share environment variables (prefixed with $)
See page 122 of Rev pdf docs about environment variables.

Usually, Launch is used as was used open <application> in HC.
Open process is used to run background processes without GUI (meaning  
invisible to the user):
So an app launched will appear in the dock/task bar but a process  
will not.
