       I don't know if someone  has  done  this  but for a start look at
       HELP  TPU CREATE_PROCESS in EVE/TPU.  You probably don't want  to
       create a new process for every procedure you execute so some more
       code would porbably be required to make it efficient.

       Get Peter  Galbraith's  PEVE_MAILQUOTE.TPU.   Does  even more and
       works  really great.  Um...  I still have check a fix he sent  me
       over a week ago...
