Appscript does implement a built-in launch command:

app('textedit').launch()

However, it doesn't work at all right, so don't bother trying it. The  
only way I can currently think of doing it is to use AS:

import osax
osax.runscript('launch app "TextEdit"')


If anyone knows how to launch apps without them being sent the  
customary run event then please let me know.
