Thank you Monte! This didn't work exactly how I expected, but will  
suffice for now.

That code took me to iOS Settings, but not to any place in  
particular... just to the last Settings area visited. So if I had last  
visited Settings > Personal Hotspot then that's where the link from my  
LiveCode app took me (and not to the Settings for my app bundle, or  
even the root of Settings for that matter).

Using the codes I found @ https://github.com/phynet/iOS-URL-Schemes I  
tried some of the other URLs and the small handful that I tried all  
had the same result of going from LiveCode app to the last area of  
Settings that was active on the device.
