Without this parameter, multiple windows are allowed: depending on other settings, a new compare might open in the existing window or in a new window. For example, if WinMerge is already running, a new compare opens in the same instance. s limits WinMerge windows to a single instance. This parameter is useful when you use WinMerge as an external compare application, or when you want to eliminate unnecessary steps by ignoring files that don't have any differences.

Without this parameter, you might have to press Esc multiple times to close all its windows. This is useful when you use WinMerge as an external compare application: you can close WinMerge quickly, like a dialog. e enables you to close WinMerge with a single Esc key press.
