Hi Curt, sorry!
Handle  is not the command line version of Process Explorer.
Handle is not an replacement of Process Explorer.
Handle is only to see which files are locked from which application.... smtg like UnLocker

"C:\>handle /?"
Handle v3.2
Copyright (C) 1997-2006 Mark Russinovich
Sysinternals - www.sysinternals.com

usage: handle [[-a] [-u] | [-c <handle> [-y]] | [-s]] [-p <process>|<pid>] [name
]
  -a      Dump all handle information.
  -c      Closes the specified handle (interpreted as a hexadecimal number).
          You must specify the process by its PID.
          WARNING: Closing handles can cause application or system instability.
  -y      Don't prompt for close handle confirmation.
  -s      Print count of each type of handle open.
  -u      Show the owning user name when searching for handles.
  -p      Dump handles belonging to process (partial name accepted).
  name    Search for handles to objects with <name> (fragment accepted).

No arguments will dump all file references.

Ever wondered which program has a particular file or directory open? Now you can find out.
Handle is a utility that displays information about open handles for any process in the system.
You can use it to see the programs that have a file open, or to see the object types and names of all the handles of a program.


Process Explorer on the other hand can show you the 'handles'  too.......but this is only a small part of ProEx.

Light weight alternatives to ProEx are e.g.
"ProcessMate v1.87" from WEIRD173
and "Process Viewer  for Windows" from http://www.teamcti.com/pview/prcview.htm  which have an command line tool pv.exe
and "Process" from http://www.beyondlogic.org/consulting/processutil/processutil.htm
(BTW by searching the homepage URL i found http://www.softpanorama.org/Unixification/windows_process_viewers.shtml)

Hmmm; I didn't bother to read all of the text before posting; I only read the beginnings:
