Hi Thomas,
    I don't know if you used Edit (By Mike), but well, there I found a
solution to bring to front the editor's window when opening a new file,
 it uses dde library, but I could also use my SMTA (Send messages
trough apps) to achieve this. On Window's docs, it says that the window
in front is the only one that can bring a window to front by using
SetForegroundWindow, so I start another instance of the editor, check
if it's the second one, and then I communicate the apps so the
background instance send's to the other it's handle and the one that
was started last uses SetForegroundWindow.
Just another solution to this problem.
