Hi,
To open files in a running instance of emacs, you definitely need
gnuserv/gnuclient as runemacs is intended (or so I believe) to just start
emacs. If you follow the instructions I mailed earlier you will be one happy
user. Under Windows98 and the like, it might be worthwile to have a peek in
the registry after setting up the file associations. I noticed that setting
file associations through Explorer's Options will force a %1 without quotes on
the command line entered. With regedit you can change that to the format I
mailed, and you should be OK. As I don't have a Windows98 machine around
anymore I can't check this, so comments are appreciated.
Cheers,
Karel

I am *not* using gnuclientw at work. I am responsible for my system(s) at
work, and I know for a fact that I am not using gnuclient/gnuserv!

There is no %1 in the SendTo as it doesn't (AFAIK) use DDE.

That is possible - perhaps some other users with Windows 98 (without
gnuserv/gnuclient) could let me know how their system behaves?

I don't want to appear unappreciative of your suggestions, but
gnuclient/gnuserv are something that:
1) I certainly do not have installed
2) I do not want to have installed at this time
