Only by opening another copy of the program, unless the program has a
program-specific method of allowing this.

On the Mac, there is a standard way of doing this, but not under *NIX
or Windows.

Actually...

get shell("start"&&shortFilePath(someFilePath))

...works for me on Windows.

You need to use the shortFilePath() function to overcome problems caused by spaces etc. in long version filepaths.

Cheers,

I really did research the archive but I'm still a little confused

application is already open/launched?
