Thanks - this sounds like almost the solution to a problem I have:  
 
I use emacs, ESS, auctex, Sweave under Windows XP and get new instances
of emacs when I open any file with an emacs association.  But, should I
associate extensions with gnuclient or emacsclient?  And is the file I
want called emacs.exe or runemacs.exe or something else?  Or is it
enough if I have (server-start) in my .emacs (which I do)?
 
Thanks - apologies if this is really the wrong list but this is the
list it came from... :)

In gnuemacs, you need to associate file extensions with gnuclient or
emacsclient
to get the file to open in an existing instance of emacs.  On windows,
at least,
associating a file extension with emacs itself opens a new copy of
emacs, instead
of a new buffer in the already open emacs.  The *client programs do the
right
thing to make the file open in a new buffer in the existing instance
of
emacs.  These programs will work with xemacs.
