OK, thanks! I'm going to release an updated version sometime later this summer that makes use of my CLSHEAP library; it'll permit access to some of the CreateProcess() features that are inconvenient to implement without something to handle allocating buffers outside of VFP's memory space (anything that you need a pointer to within a structure needs to be allocated so that VFP's memory management won't shift it around.) It'll also provide a kinder, gentler way of shutting down a running WinApp via SendMessage(); I have to add code to find the current hWnd of the process it starts from the ProcessID.
