[JW Lua] Programmaticall open a Finale file

[Thomas Weber]

Thanks Charles,

the question is, if I have retrieved a file name of a Finale file, be it via FCFileOpenDialog or by other means, how do I then actually open then file?  I can open and process e.g. text files with Lua just fine, but I have no clue how to open Finale files.
