This took a while to track down...
in procedure onClick_RUN(), after
err_msg =3D system_exec(exe, 2)=20
add:
doEvents(0) -- fixes elusive window minimise error
I think the problem was that the system_exec() call stops all
processing, but if windows sends the minimised app a message, then it
was being processed _after_ all the restore etc code.
Thanks, Patrick, I've been after this one for a while.

The only way I could reproduce this was to run the source version of
the editor, and then invoke the shrouded/bound exe.
If that is not what is happening, ignore the rest of this paragraph.
My best guess is that the shrouded version is not passing the string
"MEditorFile" undamaged to the ipc routines (and why should it)
If just one byte off on the shared memory it would crash.
My second guess is that if you were running say code genie version
3.09.12 with single instance handling enabled, and then attempted to
run 3.10.2, or vice versa, it would crash (assuming the guys 'n gals
at code genie haven't already coded round it).
So my advice would be to only run one "version" on a machine, where
version is in this case extended by source/bound/shrouded status.
If you think I'm right with this, I could change the ipc code to add
version and packaging method info to the control strings.
[bound programs return command_line() of x.exe x.exe params, for]
[fullsource vs shrouded my best bet is to open the .exw file and see]
[if it starts with a comment. I shall endeavour not to release bound, and]
[bound and shrouded, versions.]
Jonas, by any chance you are leaving the source version running when
you test run the bound, shrouded version?
