In order to be consistent across all platforms, Revolution uses a slash "/" as the delimiter for file paths, in your case over-riding the normal Mac colon ":".

Now that you have located the application, I think the following should work:
launch "Macintosh HD/Applications/TextEdit.app" (Rev 1.1.1)
or launch "/Applications/TextEdit.app" (Rev 2.0)


Note that because of the peculiar nature of OS X application bundles, checking for the existence of a file will fail. Check instead for a folder if you are looking for an application.

e.g. there is a file "Macintosh HD/Applications/TextEdit.app"  -- false
        there is a folder "Macintosh HD/Applications/TextEdit.app"  -- true

Hope this helps,
Sarah

Ok, At least I can get the result: "Macintosh HD:Applications:TextEdit.app:"


If I then type:

launch "Macintosh HD:Applications:TextEdit.app:"

into the message box, I get error-35. What the heck is going on???

Thanks, Roger
