What does ShowMessage do?

It's a method which does this:

-Locate an helper app
-Write to a file in the bundle of the helper app for a message

Well this is likely to get an error and is not a good practice

-Launch the helper app (well, would do)
-Initiate a timer to wait for a reply

(I was forced to use files as AppleEvents aren't catchable by a ServiceApplication and a socket had failed to work in my testings).

The piece of code that tries to launch the helper app is actually more complex than what I wrote:

The results I get are always the same:
Debug1
<path to app>
Debug2a
Debug2b or Debug2c or Debug2d

and nothing after that (well, a crash).

trying to launch (at least from what I can see)
