Thanks Kin,
I thought the "to activate" was equivalent to the "to run" but I guess
it is not.
I made the Big App work as desired by using your "to run" in place of
my "to activate" and turning on the "ignoring" block thus:
...
try
ignoring application responses
tell application theApp to run
--tell application theApp to launch
--tell application theApp to activate
end ignoring
on error mess
...

Oh, by the way, if you tell an application to launch then it will not
run what is in the run handler (or the default run handler if you
didn't specify one). You need to specifically tell the application to
run to have it do what is in the run handler.

And I guess "to run" does something more than "to activate" since the
"to activate" also does nothing with "ignoring" on, but runs the little
app and hangs the big app with "ignoring" off ("to run" behaves just
like "to activate" with "ignoring" off).
