[comp.windows.ms] Cooperation between FileMan and ProgMan

	Being about to use the File Manager to copy files into the
	Program Manager is fantastic.  This cooperation between programs
	is what Windows is all about.  I have been wanting a similar capability
	for the Dos Executive for a long time.

	Last night I was examining the interactions between theses two
	programs with spy.  I was at first thinking that they might be
	useing the DDE, but it looks like they have registered their own
	messages with Windows and are communicating via message passing.
	Has anyone else looked into this yet?  I would like to know what
	format these messages are in so that I could write some programs
	which could use the File Manager for picking is files.  Any
	ideas?
