This sounds brillig. Do you have any URLs handy with practical tips, or
any names of suitable existing named pipes for which I can examine the
related source for tips?

Err.. that sounds unfortunate.
Aren't RPC's calls made in the context of a TID?
And my calls will be proxy to proxy and within the proxy be mapped to or
from standard read/write calls anyway, so a propagatable FID should exist.

I very much appreciate you pointing this out to me, however this
suggests that to finish my current round, I should obtain a TRANS2
opcode and look at using RPCs in the future.

So, please Steve/Jeremy can I have an ID from the range? I promise not
to over-abuse it and to move to RPCs as appropriate.
