Subject: How to keep track of top window in SuperCard?

I need to know when a window is brought to the top in SuperCard.  I can't use
currentWindow() because there's the possiblity of quite a few floating palettes
(both from my project and the runtime editor) actually being on top of the
"top" window.  I've tried using the updateWindow message, but that doesn't do
it either.  OpenWindow doesn't work, because the window may have already been
open.  I'm about ready to put gobs of code all over the place to try to keep
track of things, but I keep thinking I've missed something obvious like an
activeWindow() function.

Anybody got any ideas?
