Thanks Ken. Your suggestion worked, but it needed a slight change:

    put "open -a" && quote & gWindowsMediaPlayer & \
        quote && quote & gClipFile & quote into tCmd
    get shell(tCmd)

I had to add the " -a" after the open command to ensure the Windows Media Player (WMP) opened a file that is currently set to default to opening with QuickTime (QT). Without the "-a" BOTH WMP and QT open up! (There was a missing "quote &" as well but I assume this was a simple copy&paste slip).

Use the shell command "open" that you can run through Terminal. The
basic syntax at the command line is:

open <pathToApp> <pathToDoc>

So here's the code I used (watch wrapping):

  on mouseUp
    put "open" && quote & "/Applications/Windows Media Player/Windows
Media Player.app" & \
      quote && "/Applications/Windows Media Player/sample.asf" & quote
into tCmd
    get shell(tCmd)
  end mouseUp

Works like a charm...
