closing another application when Eprime resumes from suspend

[Matthew]

Hey Dave,

Thanks for the suggestion.  Unfortunately, we don't have a license for
MediaLab, so it looks like I'm stuck to Eprime. PST did get back to me
after almost 2 weeks (they're usually much better at responding).
Apparently there's an AppClose command that will do just what I want.
However, I'm having trouble getting it to work.  Not sure if this is
because I have the application header wrong, or something else.
Anyone have experience using the AppClose() function?

Thanks,
-Matt
