Euman,

Oh, that's not what I meant:  I'm not asking how to make the IDE *program*
know to only run one instance of itself, I'm asking how, if I *invoke* it
(or any program) from within *another* program, and the invoked program is
already running, don't run a 2nd copy, just jump into the one already
running.
