Passing files from Explorer to Delphi app via DDE

Hi everyone,

My Delphi app registers itself as a DDE server for some file extensions so
that files with that extension opened from Windows Explorer will be passed
by DDE to my app (years ago there was an article by Peter Below how to do
implement that). For some reasons my app only can go on when *all* selected
files are passed. How can I detect if all files are passed? Is there a way
to ask Windows Explorer something like "how many files do you want to pass"
or "is/was this the last file to be passed"?

Thanks in advance,
Tom
