Hi Yves and Sarah,

1) The open command behaves like the File -> Open menu in the finder.
In fact, "open" is more dedicated to open a document. In AS, the
"application" class inherits of the "document" class. In the "open
application" case, the iCal application is considered as a document of
the Finder.
Open a document in an application will bring it on the frontmost of
the documents. So each new application open in the finder will be
opened on the frontmost.

2) As pointed out by Sarah, the launch command is a better choice,
remaining iCal behind LiveCode.
The "launch" command opens a new application on the top of the finder,
but behind the frontmost applications.

3) You can also use the "run" command
The run command seems to open a new application "behind" the finder,
so behind the finder windows already opened.
