I am trying to write a bit of code that will open a specific document in an
application that (may) already be running.  I understand from TN205 that
MF currently does a sneaky grab of the menu bar and patches the SFD - can
I jump into that code ?  Anyone know how ?

I assume I'll have to write 2 bits of code - one for already-launched apps
and one for not-open apps. There was a mention (in TN205 as well I think),
that the MF fudge was going to be taken away - has it been done ? If not,
are the plans to make it one call (regardless if the app is open or not) ?
