Applescript is a good option if you need to do something complicated. If you 
just want to open an application or document (or application with a document), 
Mac OS provides a great command line utility called "open". Type "man open" in 
Terminal to see the options. All you need to do is convert your path to posix 
format and put it in double quotes in case it contains spaces.

This works great for doing things like opening HTML documents with Excel (use 
-b com.microsoft.Excel).
