silly frontmost question

Hello, all ...

Please forgive the noise, but i've researched this and haven't come up with much yet. I'm trying to do something really simple -- set an application to be frontmost (above all other apps, so the Finder menu is hidden). The app is VLC, and i'm trying this, to no avail:

pugsleybutt:~ jmzorko$ osascript -e 'tell app "VLC" to set frontmost to true'

The result: absolutely no change -- VLC is running behind the terminal window, and it stays behind the terminal window even after I execute this piece of AppleScript. What am I missing?

Alternatively, can I tell VLC to "hide others" e.g. choose the "Hide Others" menu item, in effect making it frontmost?

Regards,

John
