BTW, I assume you have a good reason for wanting to call terminateProcess

Yes, I have to abort the process in case of an exception in my code. Just giving it EOF is not enough, unfortunately. Thanks a lot for taking the time to answer, Simon. I really appreciate it. Peter P. S.: It might be worth adding a few sentences to the description of 'Handle' which explain these problems. I'm certain other users of the language will run into the same questions.
