Well, you can't do this at all in C/C++. Or in any other language.
There's no way to modify a running application - it's an OS
restriction rather than something built into any development
environment. I know several others have said this, but it won't hurt
to hammer it home. OS9 lets you get away with it, but it's an anomaly
and RR enforces the ban to maintain cross-platform consistency.

Agreed. I think an example should be at least in the docs, considering
how often it comes up.
