Window IDs and Instances (OpenInsight 32-bit Specific)

If User "A" opens a window "ENTER_EX", the window id is "ENTER_EX". Now if User "A" opens a second window "ENTER_EX", while the first window is open, the window id is "ENTER_EX*1" (the "*1" being the instance.
My question is what about this…
If User "A" opens a window "ENTER_EX", the window id is "ENTER_EX". Now if User "B" (from another station) opens the same window "ENTER_EX", will the above apply? Will the window id be "ENTER_EX*1" ( "*1" or the next instance)?
Can someone check this for me? My development copy is a single user so I can not check it.

The *n is to distinguish one window from another so the system knows which control to send messages to. It is therefore a workstation specific behaviour and will only occur where 1+n windows are opened on the same workstation.

Thanks very much.
So… if I had a common statement in a window as follows, and given that the @WINDOW variable is "ENTER_EX"…
COMMON //@WINDOW// WINDOW_ET@Would the variable "WINDOW_ET@" be totally independent to each window, for each user?

Yes although we'd tend to steer clear of using @Window for superstitious reasons… so
atWindow=@Window
Common atWindow MyCommonArea
This is how come each Window has it's OWN labelled common area…
