Hi Randy,

There's probably a better way to do this but to hide the profiler
immediately after launching...

---begin script
tell app "Apple System Profiler"
activate
my HideMe()
--do stuff
end

on HideMe()
tell app "Finder" to set visible of process "Apple System Profiler" to false
end
---end script

HTH,
Jed
