Frankly Neil...I have been messing around with you similiarly to how you've been messing with me. Obviously you know your stuff and I respect that. I just have lost interest in the mental battle over Microsoft because as a battle of opinions...I don't think either of us will be able to make a point to the other. If I have said anything that has been offensive to you, please note that it was all in fun. Thank you. As far as the process thing goes, I'm just being a prick. Sorry. Lucas W.

And do you just want to argue with whatever I've written? The point being, you *can't* do it for an application - in general - merely a process running at that snapshot in time - re-read what was *asked* in the first place.
