Leveller did not handle document opening from the Windows shell (or when
it did, it was imperfect). Double-clicking a TER file's icon inside a
Windows folder tended to launch Leveller but not to open the file, or if
Leveller was already running, a message to that effect would appear (but
without opening the file).
A patch update is available to fix this at:

The reason for the bug was that Leveller supported a mode called "data
exchange" where it would run as a service, and other apps could run
alongside and read/write terrain to it. So a user could run Leveller to
perform visualization, while his own app did some fancy modeling or
other terrain-related process that Leveller didn't. However, the data
exchange system interfered with a messaging subsystem used to auto-open
documents from the shell.
Data exchange was dropped a year or two ago, since hardly anyone
needed it, so now the document opening can be (and has been) restored.
