Well, the information could be anything of very little- to massive amounts.
I'm not sure how you would use WM_COPYDATA. I'm not too familiar with 
Win32Lib's (I recon thats what your referring to) inner workings, but
I'm working on it - and in time getting there too I hope. :P
What I was hoping for was that passing information between programs in
native Euphoria - where there where no need to learn a bunch of include
files - like Win32Lib - NOW.. :D

PS! I'm a steady user of Win32Lib, but that is limited to making forms,
controls, and handlers for now.
