Thanks all... I was getting desperate, but I think Richard's way will work...
Will give it a try later this evening :-)

In addition to the other suggestions, another option is to hand off the
AppleScript launch to a separate LiveCode application. This way your
hot-folder app remains independent of the launch app that gets locked up by
