XPress 6.11 activate

I’m trying to script QuarkXpress 6.11, and I’m seeing something that I can’t solve. I simply want to activate the app.

tell application “QuarkXPress 6.11”
activate
end tell

It works if Xpress is already running. But if Xpress isn’t running, the script will start the program in the background and never continue. It’s as if Applescript is waiting for a response from Xpress saying “I’m activate.”

I don’t see this with any other app or even Quark 4 in OS9. With any other app, the script starts the app, brings the app to the front & continue on…

Anyone seen this?

Thanks…
