Set focus to an app and maximize it?

How do I set focus to another application that is running, and maximize
the main window?

For the first part of the question: 'AppActivate'.

I need a little clarification - are you trying to bring your application
ot the front or are you trying to bring another app to the front? Can
you provide a little more detail please?

Thanks

I'm trying to bring *another* app to the front and maximize it. Can't
for the life of me find anything in Help that indicates how to maximize
another already-running app.
