If you literally meant the "activate" command, then the solution is
simple -- don't do that. Most apps don't much care whether they're
frontmost or even visible when running a script, so you can just
remove the "activate" command from your script.
Now, if you're referring to script making the application launch,
that's different. You can use the launch-and-set-visible trick that
Mr. Fuller described, or you can upgrade to Leopard, because Leopard
AppleScript launches apps hidden by default.
