Programmatically launch a VFS file?

[Jeff Ishaq]

Is there a way to programmatically launch a VFS file, say 
"/PALM/Launcher/MyApp.prc", in the same fashion that Launcher does when 
it's tapped on by the user?  Maybe a special launch code I can send to 
Launcher or some way of enqueuing the same event that gets generated when 
the user taps on "MyApp" from Launcher?

If not, I would put this near the top of my wish-list of APIs for OS6, 
right next to a VFSImportDatabaseFromFile() that does NOT send the 
sysAppLaunchCmdSyncNotify code.

There is a lot of hoop-jumping to do this manually, because there's a lot 
going on... import PRC to main memory (also check for newer versions in 
main memory and present a dialog if found), launch the PRC, wait until PRC 
is exited, delete the PRC from main memory, etc.

Any tips appreciated!  Thanks,
-Jeff Ishaq
