Hello Everyone again,
Once again I'm trying to code a PM window application so that it can find the path to its
own executable file. I'm using the IBM OS/2 Developer's Toolkit, OS2TK45.

I've decided that what I really want to do is have the code find the handle to the
executable file (is this possible) and then from there, use "WinQueryObjectPath" to find
the path to the executable, given the file handle.

Am I on the right track here? Does the windowing code generate a handle for the
executable file? And if it does, how can I get that handle? Finally, can I then use that
handle as the "object handle" in the "WinQueryObjectPath" API call?

Thank you for any help on this!
HCM
