Sorry, timmy, but i am doing other things, and don't have time or real
incentive to learn C or gui programming so i can understand what
win32lib/windoze wants. I was hoping someone else here knew and would simply
tell me how to do it. Since the Eu program knows it's own name, can't it
just

procedure onOpen
setWindow(mainwindow,notActive)
setWindow(mainwindow,Minimize)

etc

 How do i do that?
