Dan -

As pointed out by Michael, CREATEPROCESS returns the status of the
creation of the process.  It does not return anything created by or
generated by the process itself.  In the MPE world, there is a
distinction between a program (process launched at the command line)
and a programatically created one.  MPE has traditionally been lax in
offering much support to program generated processes.

You will have to do more coding to support what you ask, than with a
more process oreintated OS like Unix/Linux.  Traditionally, processes
were limited in MPE, and creation/destruction of processes caused a
fair amount of overhead.  That has been resolved with modern hardware
and some mods to MPE, but the original design and philosophy are still
very much there.
