As an admittedly kludgy work-around, might someone not write their own 
command shell which can run fp as a child and catch the same events itself?

Like take the cmd.exe from ReactOS and hack in the handler, and have your 
desktop shortcut specify a command line that explicitly calls the custom 
cmd.exe with your normal fp batch file as the argument.
