I tried using this and more than one IDE can be started. Where does the
"Win32Lib IDE" come from? I use that only in my About box.

Oh, I didn't understand that it had to be compiled. In any event Dan
doesn't need me to make this change.

Well, it doesn't work for me. I put it in right were you show and run
IDE and then run it again. Both are in the taskbar.
I'm using win98SE and win32lib.ew v 55.1.
So what am I doing wrong?

Yes, it does.
I noticed that the title bar on IDE is "Win32Lib IDE - Untitled" and
when I use that in your statement it works.
I'll add this to the next IDE version unless anyone has an objection.
