Re: Multi Instances

The reason I responded directly to you rather than the group is that my
reflex action is to press the "Reply" button, whereas to respond to the
group you need to press "Reply All". Sorry about that.

I don't know how CodeWright's communication scheme works, but since in
SwiftX the command line would be INCLUDE DEBUG.F perhaps you can just get
CodeWright to send that message to SwiftX (without having to launch something).

This is obviously the converse of what SwiftX does to communicate to its
linked editor, so perhaps someone more familiar with this mechanism can
offer more specific suggestions.

Cheers,
Elizabeth
