Thanks, Christian. I'll check it out.

I've seen the solution to this in *nix shell scripts -- basically the script
grabs the PID (process ID) of it's own process and uses that (maybe with a random
or iterative number added on).

I don't know how easy it is to get the PID under Windows though. I found some
tools online to do so but I didn't see if there was anything already "built-in"
to Windows to do it (like with system()), without calling into the OS itself.
