This seems to work:
tell application "System Events"
set the_apps to every application process whose visible is true
set random_app to some item of the_apps
set frontmost of random_app to true
end tell
yes, but Michelle also remembered the "tell application (name of
process)" trick; her solution is better still
Actually, it's that I didn't think of "set frontmost of random_app to
true", and I knew how to activate an application; I didn't think of it
as a trick.
But why is mine better? Seems to me that either would work.
