Simple newbie question

Thanks a lot Yvan. Nice work.
Learning a lot from you (nice french people... ahem ;-)).

Tests made here (MacOS 10.4.11)

-> Launching the script:
- opens Stickies
- does not open TextEdit

-> Relaunching then the script then:
- quits Stickies
- does nothing on TextEdit

-> Launching the script when Stickies and TextEdit are previously "manually" opened:
- quits both (normal behaviour)


We approach the nirvana. ;-)
Best regards.

Revised version tested with two widely available applications.

set theApp1 to "Stickies"
set theApp2 to "Textedit"

set fausseErreur to -1708
tell application "System Events" to set dispo to (get name of every
process)

if theApp1 is not in dispo then
	(* App1 n'est pas ouverte donc App2 ne l'est pas davantage *)
	set flag to true
	tell application "Finder"
		try
			open application "Stickies" (* putain d'appli qui n'accepte pas
d'être lancée si le nom est dans une variable *)
		on error errMsg number errNum
			(* errMsg et errNum sont le message et le numéro d'erreur
générés par l'exécution du script*)
			log errNum
			if errNum is not fausseErreur then set flag to false
			(* fausseErreur étant le numéro de l'erreur
générée par une ouverture réussie *)
		end try
	end tell
	if flag is true then
		tell application "Finder"
			try
				open application theApp2
			end try
		end tell
	end if
	(* on peut se retrouver avec:
App1 et App2 ouvertes
App1 ouverte mais pas App2
aucune ouverte *)
else
	(* App1 est ouverte mais rien ne garanti que App2 le soit *)
	try
		if theApp2 is in dispo then tell application theApp2 to quit
	end try
	try
		tell application theApp1 to quit
	end try
end if


I was surprised because open application theApp1 with theApp1 set to "Stickies" doesn't work.
