Return Value
If the function succeeds, the return value is the instance handle of
the application that was run, or the handle of a dynamic data exchange
(DDE) server application.
If the function fails, the return value is an error value that is less
than or equal to 32. The following table lists these error values:

As you can see, this is the instance handle of the application, not
the handle of the window. It's like calling instance() inside
Euphoria. The difference is that you can have an application that does
not have any windows, hence it only needs an 'instance' handle. You'll
need to obtain the handle of the window in order to close it. Try
looking at my 'Monitor All Windows' app in the Archive. You'll
probably have to search for the title of the notepad window "Untitled
- Notepad" or whatever.
