Ritch, See the "Running a batch file in DOS" for tips in using the shell to launch. I'm certainly not an expert, but then info in that thread might be helpful.
But, as far as I know, "launch doc with app" and "open process app doc" are the only two ways known to me.

I have used "launch filename with appname" with limited success. The problems with it are: - Only 1 document can be opened at a time per application. In order to open a 2nd document, you must quit the entire application and relaunch it. - I can't launch Excel files this way after building a distribution. They launch within the Revolution IDE but not after a distribution is built.
