subject: Loading associated files

In many MDI style programs, such as Word for Windows, when you double click 
on an 'associated' file (*.doc) in Explorer, Word will automatically run and 
load that file.
I know how to do this, no problem.
What's got me stymied is how to load a second file into the *same instance* 
of an MDI app. If Word is already running and I double click another *.doc 
file in explorer, that file gets loaded into the already-running Word 
applicition.
Anyone know how to pull this trick off in Delphi 1/2/3? Preferably 3.
Thanks in advance.
