You are right that the big stuff is taken care of by the handlers, which are
really little filesystems. The big one which needs all of that Process info
is the standard, ROM-resident filesystem.
Please, please, don't go traversing lists when you don't have to. Try
DeviceProc(), which is no trick, and is more likely to be portable to 1.4
than traversing that list!
