Humble? HUMBLE? If that's humble then it's time I converted some of my
machines into plant pots (or something). ;-)

Thanks for the input.
No problem, Nick. Sorry for stating the obvious!
One more possibility - albeit moving into kludge territory. What about
trying a dummy command to prompt a 'silent' (but hopefully post-launch)
response from each app? Something like, say:
=============================
repeat with theApp in appList
launch application theApp
tell application theApp
try
selection -- (for example)
end try
end tell
end repeat
=============================
With the few apps I've tried it on so far, it seems to be generally faster
overall than the previous suggestion - although the 'separation' between
certain apps seems better defined. However, I obviously have no idea if it
(or a suitable variation) will work with your apps/system.
Just an of-the-wall thought - and now I promise to leave you in peace! ;-)
