Does this problem (n-1) only occur with Excel?

yes, like I wrote before:
it kinda work, but it seems to depend on the program.
it's ok, i.e., with txt files in notepad, or jpg in paint.net
it does not work ok with xls files in excel 2013 (the version I have)
(of course I need this mainly for excel, so I'm not testing deeply with others app)

Perhaps an issue with the list file containing a BOM (byte order mark) because of saving the list in UTF-16. Wouldn't be the first time not all Microsoft tools can properly deal with such files...

Would fit the description that it doesn't work with a single file, and also opens one less file than it's supposed to. Unfortunately I don't know if VBS can properly read files containing a BOM.

That's not the point. I have been working with %WL via VBS for many years. From the above it became clear that this problem only concerns Excel. See the answer above.

Who has access to the closed beta testing? In the discussion by 7.50, the author answered about multiple opening by Enter. Can someone quote?
