how to tell if run-time IDL app is already running? [message #68550]

How do I tell if another instance of my IDL application is already
running? I'm talking about a run-time application that I build into
a .sav file, which starts more or less like an executable when I
double-click its icon. If I then double-click the same icon again, I
do *not* want to run another instance: I want to check to see if the
application is already running, and just bring it to the front or
something. The XRegistered trick that works fine from within a single
IDL session does not work in this scenario, I believe since two
independent instances of IDL are running the two applications. (This
is on a Windows XP machine.)
