Just an idea:
; at the start of the script
if error? try [make-dir %temp-dir] [
alert "Please close other instance first"
halt
]
; rest of the script
; just before quitting...
delete %temp-dir
(If Windows's TCP stack wasn't completely broken, you could have
simply opened a listen port instead...)

Gabriele.
