Thanks, I didn't know about access().

The stumbling block here was to find the HWND from the process information 
so I could send a close message.  I gather I must enumerate all running 
processes to find the process id then get the handle.

And I thought it would be easy!

Thanks for taking the trouble to reply,
Sincerely
Denville.
