There is a program named XRAY on most better public BBS which
would be the cat's meow for this.  I downloaded it, amused myself
with its windows, and never used it. (I do not do windows or
hacking :-)  It literally provides a real-time "window" into
what is happening and why.  You do have to understand what all
those "hex coded" are doing though.  I will post when the
comp.binaries.ibm.pc moderation is resolved and assuming an
established interest that has not already been accommodated.
