BTW, that's all 'open someFile with someApp' is doing. You might be able to
write that as:
open "param1 param2 param3" with the moviePath &"dosapp.exe"
It becomes apparent when there is a space in the path or program name. If
you ever get an error dialog from an app that says something like "Can't
open "Files\Adobe\AcroRd.exe"" (when the path was "C:\Program Files\...")
it's because 'open' treats spaces in the path as parameter delimiters -
just like the old DOS command line.
Buddy API allows you to work around these MS limits by converting
path/filenames to their 8.3 equivalents.
