dim a(1) as string
dim e(-1) as string

a(0)="open" // must be the application name
a(1)="/Applications/TextEdit.app" // first parameter

print str(ConsoleExecuteMBS(sShellPath,a,e))

// Launch app binary directly:

dim aa(1) as string
dim ee(-1) as string

dim f as FolderItem

f=GetFolderItem("test.app").Child("Contents").Child("MacOS").Child("test")

aa(0)=f.ShellPath

print str(ConsoleExecuteMBS(f.ShellPath,aa,ee))
