The objective: To launch a text file with a text program (Simpletext on Mac, ? on Windows)
The problem: How to get the filepath of the program? "launch Simpletext" produces "error -43" on my computer. So if there is some default location built into Metacard, it doesn't always work. I moved Simpletext to the toplevel of my HD and it still produced the error. (It's currently in my Applications folder.) Everyone doesn't have the same setup, things get moved around to suit people's tastes. How to find out where Simpletext is? And what would the equivalent be on Windows? The only workaround I found was to put a copy of Simpletext with my program, to launch from. Not a desireable option. (Especially if they know they have the program already and trash mine.) And it wouldn't help me for what to do to launch a text file on Windows.
