Given the handle to a window, is there any sequence of calls I can make
to find out the name of the module which owns it?  I'd settle for either
just the short name or the full path.

(The reason I want to know is that I'm trying to detect if the foreground
session is a DOS box.  I was going to do this by testing if the module
was WINOLDAP.  If anyone has an alternate way to do this, I'd love to hear
it.)
