[cream] Multiple windows vs. single window

[Ben A. <BAr...@dy...>]

My wrapper for cream, which relies on being able to pass messages to the 
vim server to open files properly, used to support opening each new file 
in a new window by changing the servername to CREAM_## but I see things 
have changed since then (probably several versions back, now) so this no 
longer works.  If I try to start cream with any servername other than 
CREAM, I get these errors:

Error detected while processing function Cream_singleserver:
line 129:
E241: Unable to send to CREAM

I'm wondering now how to continue to support those of my users who 
prefer this arrangement.  The wrapper has changed somewhat since that 
time.  Now, for the *initial* call to cream, I set a variable to pass to 
the cream-user, which in turn calls Cream_file_open after Cream has 
finished loading.  But that still doesn't change the fact that 
everything is forced into a single session now, so if I click on the 
Cream icon on the user's desktop a second time, instead of getting a new 
icon, the window just flashes and nothing happens.  Any suggestions?
