Launch does not work in Windows

[Bob Sneidar]

In case anyone cares, this works: 

   if the platform contains "WIN" then
      put "start" && quote & tTextEditorPath & quote && quote & tFilePath & quote into tShellCommand
      get shell(tShellCommand)
   else
      launch tFilePath with tTextEditorPath
   end if
