Default Getting info from all .xls files which are open

I want to open a .xls file named "INFO". This is a blank .xls worksheet. I
what to run a macro that will retreive information from all open .xls files,
(names not specified).

The user would open all the .xls files they want the information from. It
could be 6 or more different .xls files at one time. The macro would cycle
through each .xls file and retreive cell "a1", for example.
I would like to put the contents of all the "a1" cells into the "INFO" sheet.

Is this possible? To retreive info from all open .xls files without knowing
the names of the files. The user just has them open.
