Cs4 Mac : linking to open external .app files, help needed!

Question

I have completed a CDROM for pc users for a client.
The CDROM contains 15 quizzes in exe format.
A 'portal' file links to each of these quizzes, so the user returns, having opened and completed the (.exe) quiz file, to the portal and takes another quiz.
the code to open these 15 quiz files
on(release){
fscommand("exec","openexe15a.bat")
This opens the bat file, which opens the exe
----- This works fine
However, my client wants a mac version,
I cant find a way to link to the macintosh projector file within the portal file.
fscomand doesnt work, geturl doesnt work.. any help really would be appreciated.

I don’t know how .Mac Backup works, so all I can say is which are the files & folders you need to restore from the backup (assuming you did actually back up them, that is).
Mail stores most preferences and all account settings in ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.mail.plist (except the passwords, which are stored in the keychain). Everything else, including all your messages and mailboxes, is stored in ~/Library/Mail/.
Similarly, Address Book (whose data you should back up as well) stores the settings in ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.AddressBook.plist and the data in ~/Library/Application Support/AddresBook/.
Other applications store preferences and data in other places. You may want to ask in the appropriate forums for more information on those.

Note: For those not familiarized with the ~/ notation, it refers to the user's home folder, i.e. ~/Library is the Library folder within the user's home folder.
