[Zope] External Editor and HTML-Kit

Casey notes

"The helper application can run any editor program that does not detach 
itself from the controlling process.

As for editors that insist on detaching from the controlling process 
(EditPad does this by default), you need to configure them so that they do 
not detach. For EditPad you could use:

      editor = C:\Program Files\EditPadClassic\EditPad.exe /newinstance"

I've just tried EditPadPro and watched the error you get if you
don't use /newinstance - things fail on attempting to open the
second and subsequent files.

I get the same error when trying HTML-Kit when opening the
second and subsequent files. The HTML-Kit docs mention a

/si

parameter to open a single-instance but I want the reverse - a new
instance - which, should, from my reading of the docs be
the default behaviour. But, as far as I can tell, this is not
what HTML-Kit is doing.

I know we've got some HTML-Kit enthusiasts on this list - can you help?
