Missing from manual - GETPID/GETPPID
« on: September 28, 2006, 09:30:51 AM »
The following was missing from the 5.6 manual, though it is in the help file.  (The manual is being updated.)

------------------------------
Process information functions:
------------------------------

   xx = GETPID()
   xx = GETPPID()

These return the current process ID and the parent process ID, respectively.

Note that GETPPID() returns a null value under Windows, as Windows has no concept as "parent process".
