	You can do it with a DOS interrupt I think, in the same way that
you can use Win95's long filenames with DOS interrupts. It's documented in
Ralph Brown's interrupt list (I can't remember which section). It's
described as "Set Application Title" or something similar. At some point I
intend to write some code to do this, but it's just a matter of having
enough free time :)

	Hope this helps,
