Launch another app from my application folder

[Jim Bufalini]

Hi Adrian,

If all you have is your standalone, you can use *the defaultFolder* which is
set to where your application launches from. If you have other stacks, you
can use:

Set the itemdelim to slash
Get item 1 to -2 of the filename of stack "<the known stack name>" 

Don't forget to add an *& slash* to either of the above and then the other
app's name.

Then you can use launch or another option is shell, which would allow you to
execute a series of commands.

One last note. If using the defaultFolder, be aware that while working in
the IDE, this is set to the Rev directory. When you launch a standalone, it
will be the standalone directory.

Aloha from Hawaii,

Jim Bufalini
