Try AfxGetInstanceHandle(). It returns an HINSTANCE to the current instance
of the application (your .exe file). I haven't done this so I don't know
what you'll run into (I have done window handles, but not instance handles.)
In your case I would assume that would return an HINSTANCE to the calling
instance of idlde.exe which I think is what you are looking for.
