Thanks for getting back to me again, Christian :)

Sorry I think I may have tripped over my own words there - this is what I mean by 2. \
and 3.:

2. In FreeBSD, if I launch kate on its own without any command line arguments, it \
will automatically try to connect to the existing session. It doesn't do this on \
windows (I haven't tested this on openSuSE - this may be a config thing on linux)...

3. In FreeBSD, if I launch kate with -u, and an instance of kate is *not* already \
open, it will fire up a new instance. Again, it doesn't do this on windows.

If *either* 2. or 3. work, I'm happy. The reason I want this is because under \
windows, if you want to associate a file with kate, you need to specify *either* kate \
on its own, or kate -u, but kate -u won't work unless there is an instance already \
running, and kate on its own will fire up a new instance every time. I could write a \
launcher batch script to get around this but it would be nice to have this \
implemented in the binary :)

Cheers,
Frank
