This simple script:

on openStack
  put $0 && $1 && $2 && $3 into url "file:/home/warren/Documents/launchtestLOG.txt"
    if $3 is "-h" then get shell("opera")
end openStack

seems to work as expected with and without -ui. Using this command: ''launchTest -ui -Q some-param -h" 
launches Opera and creates the file with this line: "launchTest -Q some-param -h".
