i want to SendMessage() a message from euphoria program run in exw.exe to
euphoria program run in ex.exe. ex.exe program has to be notified that message
has arrived, and then it sends a message back to exw.exe program. i communicate
via files.


just like i can communicate between two Windows programs with SendMessage().

basically i want an OS-independant communication-between-two-programs system.
