Launch Command

[Ken Ray]

Hang on, hang on... if you're running under OS X, applications are
really bundles, which are seen as "folders" to Rev; in fact, if you do a
simple:

  answer file "Pick TextEdit";put it

you get:

  /Applications/TextEdit.app/

pass that to the launch command:

  launch "/Applications/TextEdit.app/"

and it launches TextEdit. (BTW, it launches without the trailing slash
as well.)

In any time when you have a question about problems with file paths,
always do the "answer file...; put it" command to see what Rev thinks
the filename should be.

Try that and let us know if it works or not.
