[plt-scheme] Can I open an application without showing it?

Here's one way to do it, although it mixes environments in an awkward 
way (eg, if Applescript is used, then it probably should launch Preview 
also):

Write an Applescript and save it as a run-only application (in this 
case, it is called "hide-preview" and saved on the Desktop)...

tell application "System Events"
	set visible of process "Preview" to false
end tell

... then this works from scheme...


(require (lib "process.ss"))
(system "open ~/Desktop/hide-preview.app")
