In the simplest implementation (i.e., the one I'm likely to write) if you
double click on an NQC file it will always open a new instance of BricxCC.
That's the way it works right now. I may have it always bypass the "search"
form when opening via the Windows shell. If you open a file (that has a
corresponding dsk file) using File/Open inside BricxCC it will reconfigure
the settings based on the information inside the dsk file.
Having multiple instances of BricxCC open that are contending for the same
port is not a major problem. Users running in such a configuration (why
they would want to, I don't know) will have to close the connection in the
one currently holding the port open and use Find Brick to open it in one of
the other instances.

You are very welcome.

| (...) I think that's a reasonable approach. If I send a .nqc source file to someone using a CyberMaster connected to a diferent COM port, then this is a better solution. Also, by sending a .nqc that usually goes to Program 5 on my RCX, it won't (...) (23 years ago, 29-Nov-01, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.nqc)
