The LaunchExternalApplication() method launches the specified application. It takes a string that contains the external program to execute, along with any parameters to be passed. If a parameter is preceded by an @ symbol, it is assumed to be global; otherwise, the parameter is added to the command line as a literal string. If parameters are passed, they must be separated by commas and cannot have a space either before or after them. Literals must also be separated from parameters by commas.
