[h-e-w] Help: NT Emacs and the SendTo menu behaviour...

[John McCabe]

Hi

I run EmacsNT 21.2 on a number of systems e.g:

Windows 95   - At work
Windows 2000 - At work
Windows 98   - At home

On all of these machines I have added a shortcut to runemacs.exe in
the relevant SENDTO directory to get it in to the SendTo menu on right
clicking on a file.

On both work machines, when I select more than one file, right click,
then SendTo emacs, all the files are loaded into a single instance of
the Emacs executable, but on my home machine, each file is loaded into
a separate instance of the Emacs executable.

Does anyone know if there is some customisation in either Emacs (I
have different .emacs files betweem home and work I think!) or in
Windows that would cause the difference in behaviour?

Is is at all relevant that I've had Emacs at home for a number of
years, possibly since version 19.34, but I've only ever installed from
Emacs 20 onwards at work?

Any help greatly appreciated.

Best Regards
John McCabe
