Someday I'll have to look at 4OS2, which I've never used. If it has a
_PID parameter then it probably has some others which would also be
useful.

But I'd be surprised if 4OS2 determines its PID by polling the
DOSPIDLIST when it starts. How might it determine its PID?

I'll check these, thanks again.
