Hello everyone,

I have written a very simple program in API to play music in the background  whilst I am running another program written in Builder 5.0, my problem is I need to be able to kill the background program at some stage. Is it possible to do that? That is, is it possible to send a message from the Builder program to kill a running program? something like kill -9 in UNIX? Any information on this topic, books, articles, references, etc. would be greatly appreciated.

thanks,

ASFern
