Activating Windows gVim from the command line

I left a query about 10 days ago which was kindly and competently
answered by Ben (Fritz). Vielen Dank, Ben.
I have another problem stemming from the same issue, namely that the
moronic managers (aren't they all?) at my new job have locked down our
PC's such that we cannot install anything properly. Ain't no one like
a manager to stop you doing your job. This has happened on my last
two contracts, so seems to be the way things are going.
Anyway one side effect is that Vim no longer has a working COM
interface, through which I control Vim from another program (His
Grepship), creating a very handy and powerful combination. To get
past this I have tried to make His Grepship activate Vim with a
command line request, passed to CreateProcess(). It passes as
arguments the line no from which to search, and the required search
expression. So if I want to start up Vim so that it immediately takes
me to the word 'haddock' on line 713 of fish.cpp I would expect to
enter:
gvim +713 -c "/haddock" fish.cpp
However I find this takes me to (or near) line 713, and all instances
of 'haddock' are correctly highlighted, but at best it will take me
only to the start of the line, not to the expression itself. I am
trying to emulate as closely as possible the functionality we get when
COM/OLE is working correctly, where the cursor is placed right on the
search expression.
Is there a way I can achieve this level of control from the command
line?
Thanks in advance.
