Thanks, Richard, don't know how you find the time to know all this 
stuff! I am pondering it all. Meanwhile I think I can construct my 
app more or less the way I want it for both Mac and Windows, provided 
I simply forget about the possibility of multiple instances - and 
hoping the kids never find out!

In fact I can see a real problem with multiple instances, which is 
where an app not designed to cope with such an issue relies on 
keeping open for writing, a file which has been created for its 
exclusive use. This means that the second instance would simply fail, 
as the 'special' file would already be open when the second 
instantiation took place... however, for me this remains a 
theoretical possibility at present.

Thanks again for your insights

Graham
