	In my desk accessory, I need to tell whether I've been opened
under Excel, because Excel always keeps its edit window as the
frontmost window.
	Currently I just check CurApName to see if it includes the
string "Excel". Of course that only works if someone hasn't renamed
Excel to something else (perverse person!).
	Anyway, does anyone have a better idea? I always get nervous
using a low memory global!

	Thanks.
