Graham should also be aware that multiple instances on the same PC 
requires *virtual* keyboards, i.e
simulating keyboard events with e.g 
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms646310%28v=vs.85%29.aspx (I do 
not know if UI4J is
using this) will not work when simultaneous writing should be performed.
