how do I kill a PID in VB?

Ok, ok...I'm a stupid Perl programmer trying to do the Win32 thing. Could someone tell me how I kill a PID in VB? In being creative, I used taskkill.exe which I invoked from shell, but it does not work on win98/95, only on XP. I'm just looking for a method to kill the PID for all systems win95 to present. Thanks.

if the task has a window associated, send it a WM_CLOSE message.
