[WT-support] How to block Win-Test to be started twice?

[Bob Wilson, N6TV]

It sounds like you want to make it impossible to start two copies of
Win-Test at the same time, but I'm not sure why.  It might be useful to
have two copies running in some circumstances.  This is possible via the -i
(ini file option); one copy could use wt.ini and the other wt2.ini; one
opens COM ports, the other does not.
