Ok, all you Microsoft people out there, here's a fun one....

How can I find the Window ID of a Child process?  I can (obviously)
get the PID from my DosExecPgm call, but how can I then get a handle
on the new process's window?  I KNOW there must be a call for this,
but I can't find it in the INDEX... :-#

I know I could enumerate all the top level windows and try to find the
one I'm looking for, but that seems a little barbaric.

Another, related question:  When you ExecPgm a new process ASYC, does
it continue to run after the parent dies?  (please say yes.)

Thanks in advance for your help!
