- I am developing an application program that requires certain text editing
- features. I would like to be able to allow the user to use the editor/word
- processor that they like best. Can I have my app invoke another app
- (MacWrite, Word, ...) and have control and data returned to my app when
- done? I guess I'm looking for a fork() type of operation. Any snippets
- available?
