David,
In OS9, it could be done like this;
tell application "Finder" to open application file id "ttxt"
-- for SimpleText
By File Id (not needing to know where the app is)
So, find out what the file ids are for your MS Apps.
try
tell application "Finder"
get application file id "MSid" -- example four characters
-- Replace with 1 of your regularly installed Apps id
open result
end tell
end try
Regards, Ian
