-- assume fldigi is in the Applications Folder
set thePath to path to applications folder

tell application "System Events"
set filelist to every file of thePath whose name starts with "fldigi"
if filelist is not {} then
-- if there are multiple fldigi found, use the last one in the list
set fldigiapp to last item of filelist
do shell script "open -a " & name of fldigiapp
else
-- no files found
end if
end tell
