 From what I recall, when the parameter is specified, Xwin.exe does not 
complain if it's invoked twice (i.e., if an invocation is a duplicate). 
It merely exits silently. The effect is that if a user runs 
startxwin.bat twice, Xwin starts on the first run, along with an xterm, 
and Xwin does not start on the second run, but the xterm does.
