I replied to this message a few days ago saying it couldn't be done, but
since then I've managed to find a way to do it.  It involves a fairly
complicated bit of fiddling, which I've put into a TP 5.5 unit that can
be linked into any TP 5.5 program.  Anyone interested in testing an early
version of it is invited to send me email; I'll mail you a copy of the
current version of my unit.  It's free to use, but I'll be charging for
source code.  (You'll need to get source code to use it with any
other version of TP, unless you can convince me to dig out my old
compiler and recompile it.)
