Launch another app from my standalone

[Adrian Williams]

Phil,

Thanks for spotting that a FUNCTION needs to be stated before mouseUp.
I knew that of course but overlooked it. Something that happens with  
irregular use of Rev.
Thanks too to everyone who responded to resolve my problems. In the  
process I learned a lot.
At least one thing I learned; I must learn more about Rev!
