Hello Reinhard,

your idea with writing to a file I´ve already tried more than a year ago
with Chest, but since this is not a ´file of record´ but a simple ´text file´,
this method didn´t work - Windows did NOT allow both processes to access
such a text file at the same time! :-(

So for Chest I did it with a ´record file´, but of course for this I had
to make changes directly in the original Chest source code -
and THAT I don´t want to do again for Popeye.

Nevertheless thanks,
Franz.
