FWIW I usually define this as a foreign command in my LOGIN.COM:

$ inf*o :== SHOW PROCESS/CONTINUOUS/ID='p1'

WHy "info"?  Because that was the name of the utility that was 
superseded by SHOW PROCESS/CONTINUOUS.

Incidentally I have just noticed that the following has appeared in the 
help for SHOW PROCESS/CONTINUOUS, at some point since 7.3:. 

Key        Action

E          Exits the continuous display.
Q          Dynamically displays process quotas.
T          Displays information for threads in the process. Press
           the T key repeatedly to cycle through multiple threads.
V          Displays a map of the pages in the virtual address
           space of the process.

           Each character displayed in the map represents the type
           of page. If the current program counter is in the page,
           the page type is indicated by an at sign (@). Pages
           locked in the working set are indicated by the lette
           L. Global pages are indicated by the letter G. Other
           valid pages in the working set are indicated by an
           asterisk (*).
Space      Returns to the default display.
