My application detects a previous instance running, posts a message to 
the previous instance, and returns.  If that application was started by 
the user double clicking on a file or group of files I'd like to pass 
them to the running application.  I can see how to pass the address of 
a, say, TStringList but that doesn't work as, AFAIK, the running 
application would then try to access protected memory.  Is that right?

I can see how to save the file list to a file but is there a way to pass 
it in memory?

Thanks

Nate
