Hmm... On my system (MacBook, OSX 10.5.8, Rev Studio 4.0.0-gm-1, build
950) the following works fine:
launch "/Applications/Microsoft Office 2008/Microsoft Word"
whereas
launch "/Applications/Microsoft Office 2008/Microsoft Word.app"
does not work. In the Finder on my Mac, the MSWord application does
not have the ".app" suffix, so I would have been surprised if using "/
Microsoft Word.app" had worked, since it doesn't correspond to an
identifiable file on my drive.
But you're correct that
launch "/Applications/Microsoft Office 2008/Microsoft Word/"
also works, though strictly speaking it should be ungrammatical in
RevTalk.
Is this a Mac vs Windows thing? A Leopard vs Snow Leopard thing? A Rev
4.0 vs 4.5 thing?

I suspect the problem was more related to the final slash in your
original script, so a folder was specified rather than a file. Does
it work using ".../Microsoft Word" without the ".app" but also
without the final slash?

Bonjour Peter,
No, it does not work without ".app", either with the final slash or
without it.
launch "/Applications/Microsoft Office 2008/Microsoft Word/" -- does
not work
launch "/Applications/Microsoft Office 2008/Microsoft Word" -- does
not work
while it works as soon as one adds the ".app", with or without a
final slash:
launch "/Applications/Microsoft Office 2008/Microsoft Word.app" --
works
launch "/Applications/Microsoft Office 2008/Microsoft Word.app/" --
works
Thank you much for your reply and suggestion
Best regards from Grenoble
