I posted this to the newslist, but fear that mailing list 
subscribers have not yet migrated back to the newslist, so I'm 
posting it here as well.

-----------------------------------------------

This is an "onlyone" issue that I could probably solve, given
time, but that someone on the list might be able to solve in a
jiffy. That's one of the things that user group lists are for,
afterall.

I run a typesetting program (Tex) from TSEv4.00 using lDos.
This is under W2000.  On error, Tex has an "e" exit, at which
point it autmatically calls an editor with the appropriate
filename and line number in order to locate you in the editor at
the error point.  The editor is set via a configuration file.  In
my case there is a line in the Tex config file

      TEXEDIT="c:\Program Files\TSEPro\g32.exe" %s -n%d

I want to arrange things so that the instance of TSE that is
already running (from which Tex was called) is used rather than
a new instance of TSE, which is what presently happens.

My current solution is to not use the "e" exit of Tex and its
automatic error location facility, but use a normal exit of Tex
and then (if I want to go to the error point) a TSE macro to load
and parse the Tex log file to find the error point and then go to
that point.  This is not a bad solution.  But it is not perfect
--- an extra key stroke (to call the TSE macro).

Is there a perfect solution?  Can the onlyone macro be used?

Is this the first "real" message on the new list?

Thanks,
John Frampton
