Suggested Implementation :
	Have LoadSeg() store a lock in the process structure for the 
executable it has loaded (this will also help later if you ever want
to be able to page out of the executable) and provide a routine 
GetProcessFileLock(Proc) or some such name that would return you this
lock. The user code would have to do an Examine(lock) to find the name
of the file, or it could just do a DupLock(lock);Parent(lock) to find a 
lock on the directory where the original executable resides.
