Actually, Process.Send has not been removed yet.

The event works this way:

SUB Process_Read()

  DIM sData AS String

  READ #LAST, sData, -1024 ' Read 1024 bytes at most.
  ' or
  LINE INPUT #LAST, sData ' Read a line, if you are sure that your process 
sends lines.

END

LAST is a reference to the process object that can be used like a File object.
