Kat,

I would guess NOT, (though I could be wrong), at least as it's implemented
in David's IDE, 'cause if you run an app under development there (AUD), you
can't close out the IDE & have the app running by itself, you have to close
the app & then the IDE.  Could be another way to use the command, maybe,
though, that would do it.  I'd be satisfied to just know how to use the
command in the fashion he did. :)
