What's the easiest way to launch a document in Cocoa with it's default application and what's the easiest way to launch an application from Cocoa?

First take a look at NSWorkspace. If that doesn't suit all your needs consider using the LaunchServices framework.

<font face = "courier">/System/Library/Frameworks/ApplicationServices.framework/Frameworks/LaunchServices.framework/</font>

Thanks a bunch! I've always found it interesting that NSWorkspace is in the AppKit.
