Yes, they do. I overlooked it and got the idea. Now I have a question: 
what if the plug-in would want to use a function (better, an API) which 
lies in the main program?
Would I have to pass an array of pointers to procedures/functions/vars 
from the main program to the plug-in? Any less-dirty idea?
Maybe the answer to this question comes from: "how does GDI32.DLL do 
when it has to use KERNEL32.DLL functions? (from the SAME already loaded 
kernel, not from a new instance)" Anyone knows about this?
