Unlike Microsoft, IBM doesn`t rely on undocumented calls. You should risk a
glance at the programming guides from IBM, or read the INF files which come
with the toolkit, they give a complete reference to the API.

Process management is done by the so called ControlProgram of OS/2. This is
a basic part of the OS/2 API dealing with files, pipes, semaphores, queues,
processes, sessions, memory management and device handling. 

Again: YOU DON`T NEED UNDOCUMENTED API CALLS TO PROGRAM OS/2. All you can
dream of is there (well, somewhere, you might have problems to locate it, but
thats what HyperText is for, isn`t it?)
