Thanks Luther!
So, after using the script you modified, I came to the conclusion that what I was actually wanting to do is:
- Launch the application (if it is not already running)
- Hide the application if it is the active application
- Activate the application (if it is active and hidden)
Your script does the above except that it doesn't activate the application when it is made visible. Any suggestions on how to do so?

tell application "System Events"
if not (exists process "ApplicationName") then
tell application "ApplicationName" to activate
else
not (visible of process "ApplicationName")
set visible of process "ApplicationName" to the result
end if
end tell

Is there a single script that would:
Launch an application (if it is not running)
-or-
Toggle the application's visibility (if it is already running)?
Thanks in advance for any ideas, pointers, etc.
