err, forgive me if this a faq, but is there a way to to an "open filename with application" as in hypercard?
here is the doc

open application
open fileName with application
The open command launches another application program or opens a document with another application from within HyperCard. You must provide the full path names for the files if they’re not at the same directory level as HyperCard. Under the Finder in System 6, HyperCard sends the suspend system message to the current card before turning over control to the application. If HyperCard can’t find the document or application, it displays a directory dialog box and asks the user to find it. HyperCard also sets the result to Cancel if the user clicks Cancel in the dialog box. Otherwise, it sets the result to empty. If HyperCard has problems opening the specified application (for example, there’s not enough memory), it sets the result to "Couldn't open that application."
