The specification for the 'open' command in the AppleScript
Language Guide
says that it does not return a result. I suppose that isn't a
reason not to
return a result in your own app, but it makes the lawyer in me
uncomfortable.
The ASLG has been superseded in some places by the SIG < http://
developer.apple.com/technotes/tn2002/tn2106.html#standard-commands>:
open
open file | list of files
-- Returns a specifier to the created application object.
Opens the specified files, and returns the new application
objects for them – probably documents. The standard version is
designed for opening document files, but applications may apply open
to other objects and add additional parameters.
