I'm sure I tried this and windows informed me the target was invalid, but
I'll give it another go this evening at home.

That's exactly how my Win2k and Win95 systems behave.

That may be a possibility, although I haven't found anything to say that is
so, also it seems odd, if that's the case, that MS Word should open a
single instance with multiple files and not Emacs.

Funnily enough I was thinking of trying this to see whether multiple
arguments caused multiple instances. It doesn't on the Win2k system I have.
Thanks for those suggestions, I'll give them a go this evening and let you
know how I get on.
