A few days ago, I posted a message asking how to get an HWND from
the PID of a child process.  Perhaps if you knew what I had in mind,
it might be more clear.
I want to write an "iconizer", which will load programs up for PM
in iconic format, like the load= option in ms-Windows.

I was planning on DosExecPgm ASYNC-ing the task, getting its MSGQ
or HWND from the PID, and sending it the WM_ICONIZE (or whatever)
message.  The problem is, I can't re-write the children processes
to "return" their HWNDs, since I want the iconizer to be general purpose.

If any of you know of a better way to do this, PLEASE tell me!  I won't
write the program if I don't have to!

Thanks for your help in advance,
